18. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
to appliance when paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven
door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the
power cord or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do
not leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food in the cavity when not in use.
19. 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 A SPOON
OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the
Microwave Oven at least for 20 seconds before
removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
20. Clean ventilation openings and grease filters
frequently—grease should not be allowed to accu-
mulate on ventilation openings, louver or grease
filters.
21. Use care when cleaning the louver and the grease
filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based
oven cleaners, may damage the louver and the
grease filters.
22. When flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on.
23. This appliance is suitable for use above both gas and
