Important Safety Instructions

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
THE APPLIANCE.
2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS
TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on
page 2.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See
"GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" on page 7.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers—for example, closed glass
jars—are able to explode and should not be
heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual. Do not use cor-
rosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance.
This type of oven is specifically designed to
heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
8. 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.
9. This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact nearest
Electrolux Authorized Servicer for examination,
repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the
appliance.
11. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do
not use this product near water—for example,
near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near
a swimming pool, or similar locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter.
15. See door surface cleaning instructions on
page 36.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to
appliance when paper, plastic or other com-
bustible 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 discon-
nect 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. 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 LIQUID.
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.
18. If the oven light fails, consult an ELECTROLUX
AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
