Do not cover or block any opening on the appliance.
Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water - for example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or in a similar location.
Do not mount over a sink.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE CAVITY:
—Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven while cooking.
—Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers before placing them in the oven.
—If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
—Do not store any materials in the oven when not in use. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use. All racks should be removed from oven when not in use.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS
Be careful when opening containers of hot food. Use pot holders and direct steam away from face and hands.
Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches or plastic bags to prevent build-up of pressure.
Be careful when touching the turntable, door, rack or walls of the oven which may become hot during use.
Liquids and certain foods heated in the microwave oven can present a risk of burn when removing them from the microwave. The potential for a burn is greater in young children, who should not be allowed to remove hot items from the microwave.

SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
OPERATING
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
Do not operator the oven without the turntable in place. The turntable must be unrestricted so it can turn.
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used in compliance with cookware manufacturers’ recommendations.
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave surface when the microwave is in operation.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed jars - are able to explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
Do not overcook potatoes. The could dehydrate and catch fire.
Do not cover any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
This oven is not approved or tested for marine use.
CLEANING
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical pars involving risk of electric shock.
When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Changing the power level
Changing the Power Level: the power level can be changed only when using Time Cook or Time Defrost buttons and is explained in the sections for the functions of these buttons.
Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time. Most cooking will be done on power level 10 which gives you 100% power. Power level 10 will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off) give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with power level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:
High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, heating liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces. Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.
