WARNING
PREVENT INJURIES! CAREFULLY READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!
When using electrical appliances basic
safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Read and follow the specific warning in the
"PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" section.
• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet (see the "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS" section).
• Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with
the "Countertop Installation" section.
• Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed
containers – for example, closed glass jars – can
explode and should not be heated in this appliance.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This appliance
is specifically designed to heat or cook food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
• As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when it is used by children.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
• This appliance should be serviced only by qualified
service technicians. Contact Customer Service using
the information located on the back of this manual.
• Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
• Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not use this product near water, such as near a
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, 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.
• Place the front surface of the door 3 inches or more
back from the countertop edge to avoid accidental
tipping of the appliance during normal usage.
• Recommended clearances: 3 inches on each side,
12 inches on top, and 3 inches in the rear.
• Do not mount this appliance over a sink.
• Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance's
surface when the appliance is in use.
• Oversized food or oversized metal cookware should
not be used in this appliance because they increase
the risk of electric shock and could cause a fire.
• When cleaning the surfaces of the door and the
appliance that come together on closing the door, use
only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied
with a sponge or soft cloth.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can
burn off the pad and touch electrical parts, which
involves a risk of electric shock.
• Do not cover the microwave rack or any part of the
appliance with metal foil. This will cause overheating of
the appliance.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the appliance interior:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the appliance to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in the appliance.
c. If materials inside the appliance ignite, keep
appliance door closed, turn appliance off, and
disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the
fuse or circuit breaker panel.
