MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire,
injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found in this section.
The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”
found in this section and in the provided Installation Instructions.
Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and
sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars -
are able to explode and should not be heated in the
microwave oven.
Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or
vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when
used by children.
Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged
or dropped.
The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel. Call an authorized service company for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.
Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the
microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen
sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar
locations.
Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave
Oven Maintenance and Care” section.
Do not touch or clean the heating plate after toast
cooking, it is very hot.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to
be boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER
IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
– Do not overheat the liquid.
– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
– After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
Do not mount over a sink.
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave
oven when the microwave oven is in operation.
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
