Precautions To Avoid Possible Exposure To Excessive Microwave Energy - Whirlpool 6261 Serie Guía De Uso Y Cuidado

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
– Do not overheat the liquid.
– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
– After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking
equipment.
Intended to be used above ranges with maximum
width of 36 inches.
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not
be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create
a fire or risk of electric shock.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door
open since open-door operation can result in
harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat or tamper with the
safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front
face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue
to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can
burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a
risk of electric shock.
Do not use paper products when appliance is operat-
ed in the "PAN BROWN" mode (on models with this
feature).
Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in
use.
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave
oven when the microwave oven is in operation.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter.
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven
cleaners, may damage the filter.
Do not cover or block any openings on the micro-
wave oven.
Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not
use the microwave oven near water - for example,

Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
