1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2.Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO

AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 3 of this manual.

3.This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See grounding instructions.

11.Never immerse cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

12.Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

13.Do not let cord hang over edge of a table or counter.

14.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a.Do not over cook food. Carefully attended the appliance when heating food in plastic or paper containers.

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

c.If materials inside the oven ignite, KEEP OVEN DOOR CLOSED, turn the oven “Off”, and disconnect the power cord or shut off power from the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d.Never use the microwave for storage. Do not place paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

15.Never heat liquid or other food in sealed containers as they are liable to explode.

16.The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked on the inside of your wrist, before serving in order to avoid burns.

17.Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (instant coffee, etc.), resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. In all containers, for best results, stir the liquid several times before heating. Always stir liquid several times between re-heating.

18.Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, care must be taken when handling the containers.

19.Liquids such as water, coffee, hot chocolate, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point. 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 Avoid this from occurring:

a.Do not over heat liquid.

b.Stir the liquid before and halfway through heating it.

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

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

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

20.Do not fry food in the microwave oven. Hot oil can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in personal injuries.

21.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers should not be heated in the microwave oven. For example, heating eggs in their shells, whole hard-boiled eggs or closed glass jars can explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

22.Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squashes, apples and chestnuts before cooking.

23.Avoid heating small-necked containers like honey or syrup bottles.

24.Avoid using corrosive and vapors, such as sulfide and chloride.

25.Cooking containers may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Use potholders to remove the containers from the microwave oven.

26.Always make sure that your cooking containers are microwave safe.

27.WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
