SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
User servicing: do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the fire or flame or use a dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.
Use only dry oven mitts or potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot areas or heating elements. Do not use a towel or a bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch fire.
Do not heat unopened food containers. They can build up pressure that may cause the container to burst and result in injury.
Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warm weather.
Always keep oven vents unobstructed.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
Do not clean the oven seal or use any oven-cleaning products on it. It is essential for a good seal, which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move it.
Do not use oven cleaners, harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, or polishes. No commercial oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they scratch the surface, which may result in the glass shattering.
Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.
Do not store things children might want above the oven. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the oven to retrieve items.
Do not install or operate the appliance if it is damaged or not working properly. If you receive a damaged product, contact your dealer or installer immediately.
Use only bakeware approved for oven use. Follow the bakeware manufacturer’s instructions.
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Small amounts of harmful chemicals are given off in the oven’ self-cleaning cycle from insulation and food decomposition. Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer and reproductive harm. Venting with a hood or open window, and wiping out excess food spills prior to self cleaning the oven reduces exposure.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
To reduce the risk of fire in the microwave oven cavity:
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the microwave oven to facilitate cooking.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in microwave oven.
If materials inside the microwave oven should ignite, keep microwave oven door closed, turn microwave 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 A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
About microwave cooking
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of foods such as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached. Doneness signs include:
Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
Poultry thigh joints move easily.
Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
