IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To avoid risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a.DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend oven when 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 in oven.

c.If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door CLOSED, turn oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d.DO NOT use the cavity for storage. DO NOT leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

WARNING

Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQ-

UIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

1.Do not overheat the liquid.

2.Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

3.Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

4.After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

5.Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

CAUTION

To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

1.DO NOT deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and be hazardous to handle.

2.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.

3.Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.

4.DO NOT leave oven unattended.

5.DO NOT use regular cooking thermometers in oven when cooking in microwave or combination mode. Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven.

6.DO NOT use metal utensils in oven except when recommended by microwave food manufacturers or recipe requires metal utensils in convection or combination mode. Heat food in containers made of glass or china if possible.

7.Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking. If oven temperature is high, material may ignite.

8.Oven temperature is at least 100° F in convection mode. Verify plastic, paper or other combustible materials are recommended by the manufacturer to withstand the minimum oven temperature.

9.When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on product use.

10.DO NOT use paper towels which contain nylon or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.

11.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.

12.Racks, utensils, rack guides, and oven surfaces may become hot during or after use. Use utensils or protective clothing, like pan grips or dry oven mitts, when necessary to avoid burns.

13.DO NOT unplug oven immediately after use. Internal fan must cool oven to avoid damage of electrical components.

14.To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.
