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

4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the
provided installation instructions.
5. Do not operate the oven when empty.

or laboratory use.
8. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
9. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing into oven.
c. If anything inside the oven ignites, do not open the
oven door. Turn off the oven and disconnect the power
from the outlet or at the fuse/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.
10. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can be heated up
beyond its boiling point, while without appearing to boil. It
is 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 person:

microwave oven for a short time before taking out the
container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
11. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control
