SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed including the following:
1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2.Read and follow the specific warning: “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY,” page 3.
3.This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 3.
4.Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions, pages 7-8.
5.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
6.Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
7.As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when it is used by children.
8.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.
9.This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service technicians. Contact 1-800-726-0190.
10.Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11.Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
12.Do not use this product near water, for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
13.Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
14.Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
15.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
16.When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
17.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven interior:
a)Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance 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 purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.
18.Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea can 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.
19.To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a.Do not overheat the liquid.
b.Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
2
c.Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide mouth container.
d.After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for at least 20 seconds before removing the container.
e.Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container. This may also cause delayed eruptive boiling.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
1.Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open as this can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to break or tamper with the safety interlocks.
2.Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3.Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the door (for example, make sure
that it is not bent); hinges and latches (for example, make sure that
they are not broken or loosened); door seals and sealing surface.
4.The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
If the microwave unit is not kept clean, its surface could be degraded and lead to a hazardous situation.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER - Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
WARNING - Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord with a grounding wire and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
1.A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2.Longer cord sets or an extension cord should not be used unless the following precautions are followed (see 3, below).
3.If a long cord or extension cord is used:
•The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should

be at least as great as the electrical |

rating of the appliance. |
|
SAFEGUARDS |
||
• The extension cord must be a |

13. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of hot liquids and beverages or scalding yourself, stir liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through cooking time. Let it stand in the oven for a short time and stir again before removing the container.
14.Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
15.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
16.When cleaning door and oven surfaces use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
17.Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can heat beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. This is called delayed eruptive boiling. When the container is removed from the oven, there is a danger that very hot liquids could suddenly boiling over when the container is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid.
