IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
IA WARNING INOTICE--PACEMAKERS
[] Most pacemakers are shielded from interference
from electronic products, including microwaves.
However, patients with pacemakers may wish to
consult their physicians if they have concerns.
[A WARNING I ARCING
Arcing can occur during microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the Clear/Off pad and correct the
problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Arcing is caused by:
[] Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
[] Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like
antennas).
[] Use foil only as recommended in this manual.
[] Metal cookware used during microwave cooking
(except for the pans provided with the oven).
[] Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-
rimmed dishes, in the oven.
[] Recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces being used in the oven.
[A WARNING I FOODS
[]
[]
When microwaving, place all foods and
containers on the clear glass tray.
Do not pop popcorn in your oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn accessory or unless
you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave
ovens.
[] Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will build
up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst,
possibly resulting in injury.
[] Do not operate the oven without food inside.
This may cause damage to the oven. It
increases the heat around the magnetron and
can shorten the life of the oven.
[] Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as
potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and
egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to
escape during cooking.
[]
SUPERHEATED WATER
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.
