IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, injury to persons or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the
appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific
"PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY"
on page 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded.
Connect only to properly grounded
outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS‖ on page 5.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs
and sealed containers – for example,
closed glass jars – are able to explode
and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended
use as described in this manual. Do
not use corrosive chemicals or vapors
in this appliance. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or
dry food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when used by
children.
8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully
attend appliance when paper,
plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper
or plastic bag before placing bag in
oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn oven
off, and disconnect the power cord
or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper
products, cooking utensils or food
in the cavity when not in use.
9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea
are able to be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appearing to be
boiling due to surface tension of the
liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when
the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT
LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER
WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE
LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and
halfway through heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
d. After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a
short time before removing the
container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the
container.
10. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It
is difficult to control the temperature of
oil in a microwave oven.
11. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as
potatoes, whole squash, apples and
chestnuts before cooking.
12. The contents of feeding bottles and
baby jars should be stirred or shaken
and the temperature should be
checked before serving in order to
avoid burns.
13. Cooking utensils may become hot
because of heat transferred from the
heated food. Potholders may be
needed to handle the utensil.
14. Do not cover or block any openings on
the appliance.
15. Do not store or use this appliance
outdoors. Do not use this product near
