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, and injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the microwave.
2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page 4.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a 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 – may explode and
should not be heated in this oven.
6. This microwave is intended for use only as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in
this appliance. This type of microwave 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, do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic,
or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
9. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing in microwave.
10. If materials inside the microwave should ignite, keep microwave door closed, turn it off, and disconnect the
power cord or turn off the power fuse at the circuit breaker panel. Do not use the microwave cavity for
storage purposes.
11. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
12. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can 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 to person: 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.
13. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control the temperature of oil in microwave oven.
14. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples and chestnuts before cooking.
15. 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.
16. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed
to handle the utensil.
17. Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave.
18. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water; for example: near a kitchen sink,
in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
19. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or a plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
