IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Caution
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1.Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating with microwave energy to prevent spontaneous boiling or eruption. Do not overheat. If air is not mixed into a liquid, liquid can erupt in oven or after removal from oven.
2.Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and be hazardous to handle.
3.Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or knife before cooking.
4.Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
5.Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies depending on oven wattage. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.
6.Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven.
7.Do not heat baby bottles in oven.
8.Do not use metal utensils in oven except when recommended by microwave food manufacturers.
9.Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking.
10.When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on product use.
11.Do not use paper towels which contain nylon
or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.
12.Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags
in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before heating.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
a.DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
b.DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
c.DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important the oven door close
properly and there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken
or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
d.The oven should NOT be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

Unpacking Oven
•Remove all materials from oven interior.
•Inspect microwave oven for damage such as dents in door or dents inside oven cavity.
•Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately. Do not attempt to use oven if damaged.
•If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a few hours before plugging in.
Oven Placement
•Do not install microwave oven next to or above source of heat, such as an range or deep fat fryer. This could cause microwave oven to operate improperly and could shorten life of electrical parts.
•Allow air flow around oven. At least 1 inch of clearance is required at top and sides of microwave oven to provide proper ventilation. With restricted air flow, oven does not operate properly and life of electrical parts will shorten.
Radio Interference
Microwave operation may cause interference to radio, television, or similar equipment. Reduce or eliminate interference by doing following:
•Clean door according to door cleaning instructions in Care and Cleaning section of manual under General Cleaning.
•Place radio, television, etc. as far as possible from oven.
•Use a properly installed antenna on radio, television, etc. to obtain stronger signal reception.
