SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
- Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
- Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bag

leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
• 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 LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A 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 food or oversized metal utensils should
not be inserted in a 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.
• Do not store any materials, other than
manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this
oven when not in use.
• Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven
with metal foil. This will cause over- heating of the
oven.
• Clean Ventilation Hoods Frequently -Grease should
