IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
18. Superheated Liquids
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without showing evidence (or
signs) of boiling. Visible bubbling is not always present when the container is removed from the microwave oven. THIS
COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
(a) STIR THE LIQUID BOTH BEFORE AND HALFWAY THROUGH HEATING IT.
(b) DO NOT heat water and oil, or fats together. The fi lm of oil will trap steam, and may cause a violent
eruption.
(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.
19. DO NOT cook directly on the turntable. It can crack, cause injury or damage to the oven.
WARNING
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SHOCK:
DO NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs must be done only by a qualifi ed service
person.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY:
DO NOT tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to Door, Control Panel Frame, Safety
Interlock Switches, or any other part of oven. Microwave leakage may result.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE:
1. DO NOT operate the microwave oven empty or use metal containers. When using the
microwave oven without water or food, microwave energy can not be absorbed and will con-
tinuously refl ect throughout the cavity. This will cause arcing and damage the oven
cavity, door or other components, which can lead to a fi re hazard.
2. DO NOT store fl ammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven.
3. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven, or use newspaper or
paper bags for cooking.
4. DO NOT hit or strike Control Panel. Damage to controls may occur.
5. DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper product is labeled as safe for microwave oven use.
Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparking.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING:
POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing items from the oven. Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the
cooking container and from the container to the fl at table. The fl at table can also be very HOT after removing the cooking
container from the oven. Care in handling must be exercised.
