Your microwave oven is a cooking device and you should use as much care as you use with a stove or any cooking device. When using this electric appliance, 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, found on back of front cover.

3.This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 3.

5.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers— for example, closed glass jars— may 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 corrosive chemicals or vapours in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7.Do not allow children to use this appliance, unless closely supervised by an adult.

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 the nearest authorized servicentre for examination, repair or adjustment.

10.Do not cover or block any openings on this 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, or near a swimming pool, etc.

12.Do not immerse the cord or plug in water.

13.Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

14.Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.

15.When cleaning surfaces of the door and oven that come together when closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

16.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

(a)Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the 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 the bag in the oven.

(c)If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off the 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 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:

(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.

(e)Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

General Use

1.DO NOT tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to, the door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. DO NOT remove the outer panel from the oven. Repairs should only be done by qualified service personnel.

2.DO NOT operate the microwave when the oven is empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven causing overheating, if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

3.DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products.

4.DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.

5.DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper product is labelled as safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used.

6.DO NOT use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.

7.DO NOT hit or strike the control panel. Damage to the controls may occur.

8.DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. These could be fire hazards.

9.POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing containers from the oven. Heat is transferred from the hot food to the cooking container and from the cooking container to the Glass Tray. The glass tray can be very hot after removing a cooking container from the oven.
