12. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS

TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on
page 1.

13. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only

to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 3.

14. Install or locate this appliance only in accor-

dance with the provided installation instructions.

15. 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.

16. Use this appliance 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.

17. As with any appliance, close supervision is

necessary when used by children.

18. 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.

19. This appliance should be serviced only by

qualified service personnel.
Contact nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.

10. Do not cover or block any openings on the

appliance.

11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use

this product near water — for example, near a
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, or similar locations.

12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14.

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

15. Either:

a) When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that

comes together on closing the door, use only mild,
non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth , or

b) When separate cleaning instructions are provided,

See door surface cleaning instructions on.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance

when paper, plastic, or other com-bustible 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.

17. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive
chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides).
Vapours from such corrosive chemicals may
interact with the contact and springs of the safety
interlock switches thereby rendering them
inoperable.

18. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after
each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in
the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch
fire when next using the oven.

19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot
control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire.

20. 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:

a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through

heating it

c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow

necks.

d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the

microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.

e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other

utensil into the container.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding plug reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
porperly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding can in a risk of electric shock.

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, and either:

(1) If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has

a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than
the electrical rating of the appliance, or

(2) Do not use an extension cord, if the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified

electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
