IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WARNING: For your safety, the information in this

manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire,
explosion, electric shock or to prevent property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety
precautions should always be observed, including the
following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO

AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 3 of this

manual.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See grounding instructions.

4. 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.

5. Do not operate the appliance in microwave mode
when empty.

6. Do not operate appliance with damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions or has been damage
in any manner. Return appliance to EURO-PRO
Operating LLC for examination, repair or adjustment.

7. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.

8. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

9. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.

10. Do not place or use this appliance near water, i.e. near
a kitchen sink, near a swimming pool, in a wet
basement, etc.

11. Never immerse cord or plug in water or any other
liquid.

12. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

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

14. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not over cook food. Carefully attended the

appliance when heating food in plastic or paper
containers.

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 the oven “Off”, and
disconnect the power cord or shut off power from
the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d. Never use the microwave for storage. Do not

place paper products, cooking utensils or food in
the oven when not in use.

15. Never heat liquid or other food in sealed containers as
they are liable to explode.

16. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
should be stirred or shaken and the temperature
should be checked on the inside of your wrist, before
serving in order to avoid burns.

17. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially
cylindrical-shaped containers) may become
overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud
noise during or after heating or when adding
ingredients (instant coffee, etc.), resulting in harm to
the oven and possible injury. In all containers, for best
results, stir the liquid several times before heating.
Always stir liquid several times between re-heating.

18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, care must be taken when handling the
containers.

19. Liquids such as water, coffee, hot chocolate, or tea
are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point.
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 Avoid this from occurring:
a. Do not over heat liquid.
b. Stir the liquid before and halfway through heating it.
c. After heating, allow the container to stand in the

microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.

d. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other

utensil into the container.

e. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow

necks.

20. Do not fry food in the microwave oven. Hot oil can
damage oven parts and utensils and even result in
personal injuries.

21. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers should not be heated in the microwave
oven. For example, heating eggs in their shells, whole
hard-boiled eggs or closed glass jars can explode and
should not be heated in the microwave oven.

22. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole
squashes, apples and chestnuts before cooking.

23. Avoid heating small-necked containers like honey or
syrup bottles.

24. Avoid using corrosive and vapors, such as sulfide and
chloride.

25. Cooking containers may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Use potholders to
remove the containers from the microwave oven.

26. Always make sure that your cooking containers are
microwave safe.

27. WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a
trained person to carry out any service or repair
operation which involves the removal of any cover
which gives protection against exposure to microwave
energy.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

MICROWAVE ENERGY

1. Do not attempt to operate this microwave oven with
the door open. An open door operation can result in

harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not
to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

2. Do not place any object between the oven front face
and the door. Do not allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.

3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged in any
way. It is particularly important that the oven door
closes properly and that there is no damage to the:

- Door (bent)

- Hinges and or latches (broken or loosened)

- Door seals or sealing surfaces (damaged or

cracked)

4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by

anyone except a properly qualified service
technician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor

can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult with a qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment plug
that looks like the plug illustrated at right. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this
appliance.

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 should be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.

OR

2. Do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too

short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the appliance.

Please Note:

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.

2. Extension cords may be used is care is exercised in
their use.

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the
marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) 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 accidentally.
