7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS
• Browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking
only. Always follow instructions provided by the manufacturer.
DO NOT preheat browning dish more than six minutes.
• If an oven cooking bag is used for
microwave cooking, prepare according
to package directions. DO NOT use a wire
twist-tie to close bag. Instead use plastic
ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the
open end of the bag.
8) THERMOMETERS
• DO NOT use a conventional
meat thermometer in your
oven. Arcing may occur.
Microwave safe thermometers
are available for both meat and
candy.
9) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD
• DO NOT heat baby formula or baby food
in the microwave oven. The glass jar or
surface of the food may appear warm
while the interior can be so hot as to
burn the infant's mouth and esophagus.
10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
• When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any
fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings, which heat
faster and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains
warm to the touch (for example, jelly donuts).

If there is steam in the oven, use caution when taking
containers out of the oven. Always use oven gloves to
remove items from the oven TO AVOID THE RISK OF
SCALDING. Do Not reach in with your bare hands.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving hot liquids.
• When handling cooking containers take care not to let the

12) HEATER OPERATION
• Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and
the oven door will get hot during Oven, Steam, Combination
or Grill functions. To prevent burns, take care when opening
or closing the door and when inserting or removing food and
accessories.
• The oven has heaters situated in the top and rear of the oven.
During and after using either the Oven, Steam, Combination or
Grill functions, all inside surfaces of the oven will be very hot.

13) BEFORE USING YOUR OVEN
• Before using the oven for the first time, wipe excessive oil off
in the oven cavity and operate the oven without food and
accessories on Oven at 425 °F (220 °C), for 10 minutes. This will
allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned
off. This is the only time the oven is used empty. (with the
exception of preheating on Oven.)
• DO NOT use the water tank without the sealed lid and never
remove the sealing band from around the water tank lid, as
leaking water could result in electrical failure and danger of
electric shock.
