IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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:
� Read all instructions before using the appliance.
� Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY" found in this manual.
� This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING

explode and should not be heated in this oven.
� Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in the 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.
� As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
� Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or
plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged
or dropped.

service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

product near water – for example, near a kitchen sink, in a
wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
� 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.
� Do not use replacement parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at
home using a 3D printer).
� See door surface cleaning instructions in the Microwave
Oven and Maintenance Care section.
� To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
•
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when
paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in oven.

� 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
