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:

l Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.

l Read and follow the specific “PRE-

CAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found in this section.

l The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found at the end of this section.

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

l Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars - may explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

l 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.

l 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 Whirlpool service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

l Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.

l Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

l Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

l Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

lDo not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

l See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Caring for Your Microwave Oven” section.

l Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking equipment.

For microwave ovens with a ventilating hood:

l Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumu- late on hood or filter.

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