14.This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

15.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers (for example, closed glass jars) may explode and should not be heated in this oven.

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

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

17.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.
