Precautions To Avoid Possible Exposure To Excessive Microwave Energy - KitchenAid KBMS1454R Use & Care Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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
burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a
risk of electric shock.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door
open since open-door operation can result in
harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat or tamper with the
safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front
face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue
to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use paper products when appliance is
operated in the "PAN BROWN" mode (on models
with this feature).
Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's
recommended accessories, in this oven when not
in use.
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave
oven when the microwave oven is in operation.
Do not deep fry in microwave oven. Microwavable
utensils are not suitable, and it is difficult to maintain
appropriate deep frying temperatures.
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, or 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.
Do not mount over a sink.
Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with
metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) Door (bent),
(2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
