IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

Safety

■When using the convection or combination cooking functions, both the outside and inside of the oven will become hot. Always use hot pads to remove containers of food and accessories such as the oven shelf.

■Thermometer—Do not use regular cooking or oven thermometers when cooking by microwave or combination. The metal and mercury in these thermometers could cause arcing and possible damage to the oven. Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

■Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of electric shock.

■Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.

■Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter.

WARNING!

ARCING

If you see arcing, press the OFF/CLEAR button and correct the problem.

Troubleshooting

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

■The metal shelf not installed correctly so it touches the microwave wall.

■Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

■Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

■Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold- rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

■Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.
