IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

wCAUTION

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

1.Be certain to place the front surface of the door three inches away or more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance in normal usage.

2.For the most accurate programming of the electronic units, touch the center of each pad securely. Do not touch several pads at one time or touch between pads. A beep sound should be heard with each touch when a pad is touched correctly.

3.Do not hit or strike the control with objects such as silverware, utensils, etc. Breakage may occur.

4.Be careful when taking the cooking utensils out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot.

5.Do not rinse cooking utensils by immediately placing them into water just after cooking. This may cause breakage. Allow the turntable to cool.

6.Use only specific glass utensils. See cooking utensils section in this manual.

7.Do not operate the oven empty. Either food or water should always be in the oven during operation to absorb microwave energy.

8.Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers or clothes. They can catch fire.

9.Use only thermometers approved for microwave oven cooking.

10.Be certain the turntable is in place when you operate the oven.

11.Pierce the skin of potatoes, whole squash, apples, or any fruit or vegetable which has a skin covering before cooking.

12.Never use your microwave oven to cook eggs

in the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it to burst.

13.Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe container or commercial package

designed especially for microwave ovens. Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag not designed for microwave oven use. Overcooking may result in smoke and fire. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not reuse popcorn bags.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

A.DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with door open since open door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.

B.DO NOT place any object between oven front face and door to allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

C.DO NOT operate oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that oven door close properly and that there is no damage to:

1.Door (bent),

2.Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),

3.Door seals and sealing surfaces.
