IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page 3.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only
to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS" on page 6.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed glass jars are able
to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type
of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook
or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the microwave oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to
appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the microwave oven to
facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in microwave oven.
c. If materials inside the microwave oven should
ignite, keep microwave oven door closed, turn
microwave oven off and disconnect the power
cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. 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. 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
A SPOON OR OTHER 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. Use a wide-mouthed container.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven at least for 20 seconds before
removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
18. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive
chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides).
Vapors from such corrosive chemicals may interact
with the contact and springs of the safety interlock
switches thereby rendering them inoperable.
19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot
control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire.
