IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCT IONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:



To red uce the r isk of burns, electrical shock, fire,

follow these basic precautions:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.

-SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS-

WARNING

• Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 6.

• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. SEE GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS found on page 8.

• Install or locate the appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

• When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on the closing door, use only mild,

nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

• 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 IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers-(for example, closed glass jars) may explode and should not be heated in microwave oven.

• Use this microwave oven 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.

• As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

• Do not operate this microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or

if it has been damaged or dropped.

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

• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave oven if paper, plastic, or combustible

materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

• Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing bag in oven.

• If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off at the wall

switch, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or

food in the cavity when not in use.

• Only qualified service personnel should service this appliance. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

SEE FULL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IN INSTALLATION MANUAL

• Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause oven failure.

• Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna, or antenna wire. Position the oven as far from them as possible.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

• Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splashing liquids when choosing a place to locate it, otherwise, the

unit’s operation may be adversely affected, causing it to break down.

• Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.

• Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances

cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Avanti Products service center.

personnel.

• DO NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

• If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the START/STOP pad and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

• DO NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in oven. They may catch on fire.

• DO NOT use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities, which may cause sparks and/or fires

when used.

• DO NOT hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may occur.

• METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.

• METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the microwave oven.

• DO NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK bottles for cooking or reheating. They may shatter.

• DO NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the microwave oven. They may cause arcing. Use

only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places.

• Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before cooking or defrosting in the oven. RECOMMENDED

• Microwave browning dish – Use to brown exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.

• Microwaveable plastic wrap – Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.

• Paper towels and napkins – Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent splattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.

• Never use your microwave oven for HOME CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit proper canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

• COOKING TIMES are approximate. Factors that may affect cooking are starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.

• It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times.

• SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.

• DO NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.

• Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn squash and sausage are examples of food with NONPOROUS

SKINS. These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.

• POPCORN must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping. DO NOT use oven for popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn utensil or unless it’s commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. DO NOT use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.

• DO NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
