described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. 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 the microwave oven if it has a damaged

cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

■ The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified

service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave

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

– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave

oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, 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.

■ 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 SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons: – Do not overheat the liquid. – Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it. – Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil

into the container.

inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

equipment.
