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 2.
3. As with most cooking appliances,
close supervision is necessary to
reduce the risk of a fire in the oven
cavity.
If materials inside the oven ignite:
• Keep the oven door closed
• Turn the oven off, and
• Disconnect the power cord or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
Keep in mind the following rules at all
times:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully
attend the appliance when paper,
plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
b. Do not use the oven cavity for storage
purposes. Do not store combustible
items such as bread, cookies, paper
products, etc. inside the oven. If
lightning strikes the power line, the
oven may turn on by itself.
c. Remove wire twist-ties and metal
handles from paper or plastic
containers/bags before placing
them in the oven.
4. This oven must be grounded.
Connect only to properly grounded
outlet.
See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”
on page 6.
5. Install or locate this oven only in
accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
6. Some products such as whole eggs,
water with oil or fat, sealed containers
and closed glass jars may explode
and therefore should not be heated
in this oven.
7. Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in the
manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance.
This oven is specifically designed to
heat or cook food. It is not designed
for industrial or laboratory use.
8. As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when used
by children.
9. Do not operate this oven if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
10. This appliance should be serviced
only by qualified service technicians.
Contact the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair or
adjustment.
11. Do not cover or block any vents on

that meet when door is closed, use
only mild, nonabrasive soaps or
detergents applied with a sponge or
soft cloth. (See “Cleaning”
instructions on page 20.)
18. 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.
