Keep the splatter shield clean at all times.

Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth

after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

19 Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when 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 UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

(a)Do not overheat the liquid.

(b)Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

(c)Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

(d)After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short stime before removing the container.

(e)Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

General Use

1Do NOT attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to door, control panel or any other part of the oven. Do NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs should only be done by qualified service personnel.

2Do NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

3If a fire occurs in the oven, press the Stop/Clear button and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

4Do NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.

5Do NOT use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may ignite.

6Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded on the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

7Avoid inserting nails, wire, etc. through any holes in the unit during operation. Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal objects through the holes on the cavity or any other holes or

gaps, because such objects may cause electric shock and microwave leakage.

Utensils

1METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.

2METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the microwave oven.

3Do NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK bottles for cooking or reheating. They may shatter.

4Do NOT use CONVENTIONAL THER- MOMETERS in the microwave oven. They may cause arcing.

5Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before cooking or defrosting foods in the oven.

6For FURTHER INFORMATION on proper cooking utensils, refer to the COOKING GUIDE on page 17.

Food

1Never use your microwave oven for HOME CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit proper canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

2COOKING TIMES given in the cooking guide are approximate. Factors that may affect cooking are starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.
