IMPORTanT SaFETY InSTRuCTIOnS
■ Do not operate the oven without the
turntable in place. The turntable must be
unrestricted so it can turn.
■ During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other lammable materials
contact any interior area of the oven;
allow suicient time for cooling irst.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. if you see arcing,
press the cancEl/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.
■ 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.

oven door, loor, walls, oven rack and
turntable.

speedcook or microwave cooking (except
for the pans provided with the oven).

gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.
■ Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the oven.
