IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid risk of re 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.
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 LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
i) Do not overheat the liquid. ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
iii) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
iv) After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
v) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.
To avoid 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 operate equipment without load or food in oven cavity.
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.

To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, do not alter the plug.
Grounding/Earthing Instructions
Oven MUST be earthed.
Earthing reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current, if an electrical short occurs. This oven is equipped with a cord having a earth wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.
Consult a qualied electrician or servicer if earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly earthed.
Do not use an extension cord.
If the product power cord is too short, have a qualied electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate circuit with the electrical rating as provided in product specications (available on Amana’s wavelink website). When a microwave oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.
ow around oven cools electrical components. With restricted air ow, oven may not operate properly and life of electrical parts is reduced.
