12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter.
15. When cleaning surface of door and
oven that come together when closing
the door, use only mild, non-abrasive
soaps or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity:
(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully
attend appliance if 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 bag

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

OR 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.
(d) After heating, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven for
