IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
*The microwave
oven should be serviced only by
qualified
service personnel. Call an authorized
service company
for examination,
repair, or
adjustment.
*See door surface cleaning
instructions
in the
"Caring
for Your Microwave
Oven" section.
*To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
- Do not overcook
food. Carefully
attend to the
microwave
oven when paper, plastic, or other
combustible
materials
are placed
inside the
oven to facilitate
cooking.
- Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing
bags in oven.
- 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.
- Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do
not leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or
food in the cavity when not in use.
*This Microwave
Oven is suitable for use above
both gas and electric
cooking and equipment.
*This Microwave
Oven is intended
to be used
above ranges with a maximum
width of 36
inches (91 cm).
*Clean Ventilating
Hoods frequently
- grease
should not accumulate
on hood or filter.
*When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
*Use care when cleaning
the vent-hood
filter.
Corrosive cleaning
agents, such as lye-based
oven cleaners, may damage
the filter.
*Oversized
foods or oversized metal utensils
should not be inserted in the microwave
oven, as
they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
*Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
can break off the pad and touch electrical
parts,
causing a risk of electric
shock.
*Do not store anything
directly
on top of the
microwave
oven when the microwave
oven is in
operation.
*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 location.
* 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.
* Do not mount over a sink.
*Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven
with metal foil. Doing so will cause overheating
of the oven.
* Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able
to overheat 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 persons:
1) Do not overheat the liquid.
2) Stir the liquid before and halfway
through
heating
it.
3) Do not use straight-sided
containers
with
narrow necks.
4) After heating, allow the container
to stand
in the microwave
oven for a short time
before removing the container.
5) Use extreme caution when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container.
