burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy when using your appliance, basic safety precautions should be taken, including the following:
1.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
2. Read and follow the specific warning section: 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, page 4.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the SET UP instructions, page 5.
5. Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – can 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 1-800­726-0190.
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 come 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 interior for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
18. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea can be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. This is called delayed eruptive 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 use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks. Use wide-mouth containers.
b. Stir liquid both before and halfway through
heating it. c. Do not overheat liquid. d. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container. This may
also cause delayed eruptive boiling. e. After heating, allow the container to stand in
the microwave oven for at least 20 seconds
before removing the container.
20. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance
garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing
in an appliance garage, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so
could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.

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 match the rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave oven energy when using your appliance, take basic precautions, including the following:
1. The oven must be placed on a level surface.
2. The glass turntable and turntable assembly must be in the oven during cooking. Handle the glass turntable carefully and place cookware on it gently to avoid possible breakage.
3. Incorrect use of browning dish may cause the turntable to break. See information about cookware you can use, page 6.
4. Use only the correctly specified bag size when using the preset popcorn program.
5. The oven has several built-in safety switches to ensure that the power remains off when the door is open. Do not tamper with these switches.
6. Do not operate the microwave oven when empty. Operating the oven with no food or food that is extremely low in moisture can cause fire, charring or sparking.
7. Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable. Excessive local heating of the turntable may cause the turntable to break.
8. Do not heat baby bottles or baby food in the microwave oven. Uneven heating/hotspots may occur and cause injury.
9. Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such as syrup bottles.
10. Do not attempt to deep-fry in your microwave oven.
11. Do not attempt home canning in this microwave oven, as it is impossible to be sure all contents of the jar have reached boiling temperature.
12. Do not use this microwave oven for commercial purposes. This microwave oven is made for household use only.
13. 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.

MATERIALS YOU CAN USE IN MICROWAVE
Arcing is sparks or electric flashes that crackle or pop. Arcing can produce heat that is quite intense and can damage the interior of the microwave or containers being used in the microwave. It can also cause fire.
Arcing occurs when certain metals are used in the microwave. To prevent arcing, use the charts below to
determine which materials are microwave safe, or follow instructions from container/wrap manufacturer. Plastic cookware should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not microwave empty containers. Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.
