IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.

23.To avoid exposure to dangerous high voltage, DO

NOT REMOVE THE SPLATTER SHIELD inside the oven cavity.

24.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:

1Do not overheat the liquid.

2Stir the liquid both before and halfway

through heating it

3Do not use straight-sided containers with

narrow necks.

4After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before

removing the container.

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

25.Read and follow specific microwave oven preparation instructions on food packages or containers (especially baby food). Above all, this is a cooking appliance designed to prepare food.

26.Use only cooking utensils and accessories made for use in the microwave and specifically described in this manual.

27.Microwave oven manufacturers do not recommend deep fat frying or frying in a microwave oven. Hot oil can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in skin burns.

28.Plastic wrap : Use only those types designed for microwave oven use and avoid forming an air-tight seal. Fold back a small corner or cut a small slit to allow steam to escape.

29.Stay near the appliance while it is in use and check cooking progress frequently. Leaving the appliance unattended may reslut in overcooked food and possibly a fire in your oven.

30.Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and Cleaning section for insturctions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

31.Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

32.Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite. For these reasons:1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

33.Do not store anythig directly on top of the microwave oven surface when the oven is in operation.

34.TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” deep; remove top foil cover and return tray to box. When using metal in microwave oven, keep metal at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.

35.Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked bottles.

36.Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle the cookware.

37.Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it allows microwaves to pass through it.

38.Never use sharp-edged utensils in or near the oven.

39.Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.

40.Clean the vent hood often. Do not allow grease to build up on the hood or the filter.

41.Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

42.When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating may spread the flame.
