Ŷ
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
Ŷ
Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place.
The turntable must be unrestricted so it can turn.

explode and should not be heated in the microwave
oven.
Ŷ
Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and
catch fire.
Ŷ

INTO THE LIQUID.
Ŷ
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.
- After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.

to complete defrosting. Large roasts should stand for
about 30 minutes.
