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 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.
