IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

„Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of electric shock.

„This microwave oven is UL listed for installation over both gas (less than 60,000BTU) and electric ranges.

„This over-the-range oven is designed for use over ranges no wider than 36”. It may be installed over both gas and electric cooking equipment. .

ARCING

„Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

„Foil not molded to food.

„Plates or dishes with metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen.

„Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

H[DPSOH FORVHGMDUV³DUHDEOHWRH[SORGHDQGVKRXOGQRWEH heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury.

„Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

„Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the oven.

„Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

„Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even

with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula. The container may feel cooler than the formula really is. Always test the formula before feeding the baby.

„Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

„SUPERHEATED WATER

Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. 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.
