Amana CE76T, CW76T Precautions To Avoid Possible Exposure To, Excessive Microwave Energy

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Caution

TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1.Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating with microwave energy to prevent spontaneous boiling or eruption. Do not overheat. If air is not mixed into a liquid, liquid can erupt in oven or after removal from oven.

2.Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and be hazardous to handle.

3.Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or knife before cooking.

4.Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.

5.Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies depending on oven wattage. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.

6.Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven.

7.Do not heat baby bottles in oven.

8.Do not use metal utensils in oven except when recommended by microwave food manufacturers.

9.Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking.

10.When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on product use.

11.Do not use paper towels which contain nylon

or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.

12.Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags

in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before heating.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

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

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

c.DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important the oven door close
