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 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See
"grounding instructions " on page 3.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.

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. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

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.
9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling
