IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Recognize this symbol as a SAFETY message

WARNING

To avoid risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a.DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible mate- rials 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 cir- cuit breaker panel.

d.DO NOT use the cavity for storage. DO NOT leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

WARNING

Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appear- ing 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 LIQ-

UIDS 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 both before and halfway through heating it.

3.Do not use straight-sided containers with nar- row necks.

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

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

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

1.Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and be hazardous to handle.

2.Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or knife before cooking.

3.Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.

4.Do not operate oven without load or food in oven cavity.

5.Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies depending on oven wattage. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.

6.Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain mer- cury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunc- tion, or damage to oven.

7.Do not use metal utensils in oven.

8.Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking.

9.When cooking with paper, plastic, or other com- bustible materials, follow manufacturer's recom- mendations on product use.

10.Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.

11.Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before cooking.

12.To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physi- cian or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.
