Table of Contents

(a)

Do NOT overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if 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.

17.

Do NOT use this microwave oven to heat corrosive chemicals (for

example, sulfides and chlorides). Vapors from such corrosive

chemicals may interact with the contact and springs of the safety

interlock switches, thereby rendering them inoperable.

18.

Keep the spatter shield (waveguide cover) clean at all times. Wipe

the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave

grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even

catch fire when next using the oven.

19.

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated

beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface

tension of the liquid. 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS

INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

1. Do NOT overheat the liquid.

2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

3. Do NOT use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven

for a short time before removing the container.

5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the

container.
