IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• The microwave oven should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Call an authorized
service company for examination, repair, or
adjustment.
• See door surface cleaning instructions in the
"Caring for Your Microwave Oven" section.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to the
microwave oven when paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bags in oven.
– 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.
– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do
not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or
food in the cavity when not in use.
• This Microwave Oven is suitable for use above
both gas and electric cooking and equipment.
• This Microwave Oven is intended to be used
above ranges with a maximum width of 36
inches (91 cm).
• Clean Ventilating Hoods frequently - grease
should not accumulate on hood or filter.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
• Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter.
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based
oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY
• Do not store anything directly on top of the
microwave oven when the microwave oven is in
operation.
• Do not cover or block any openings on the
microwave oven.
• Do not store this microwave oven outdoors.
• Do not use the microwave oven near water - for
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement,
near a swimming pool, or similar location.
• 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.
• Do not mount over a sink.
• Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven
with metal foil. Doing so will cause overheating
of the oven.
• Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able
to overheat 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 a spoon or
other utensil is inserted into the liquid. To reduce
the risk of injury to persons:
1) Do not overheat the liquid.
2) Stir the liquid 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 caution when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container.
