IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances 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:

■Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.

■Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found in this section.

■The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section and in the provided Installation Instructions.

■Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.

■Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – are able to explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

■Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

■As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

■Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

■The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

■See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave Oven Care” section.

■To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

–Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

–Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.

–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 circuit breaker panel.

–Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

■Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

–Do not overheat the liquid.

–Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

–Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

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

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

■Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

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