PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do Not Attempt to operate this oven with
the door open since open-door operation can
result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do Not Place any object between the oven
front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
2
(c) Do Not Operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (bent)
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The Oven Should Not be adjusted or repaired
by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
A WA~lNG-Toreducetheriskof
burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons
or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
●
Read and follow the specific “Precautions to
Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave
Energy”on previous page.
“
This appliance must be grounded. Connect only
to properly grounded outlet, See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS.”
●
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This
microwave oven is specifically designed to
heat or cook food, and is not intended for
laboratory or industrial use.
●
For best operation, plug this appliance into
its own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering
of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.
●
Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.
●
Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.
●
Do not let power cord hang over edge of table
or counter.
●
Do not operate this appliance if it has a
damaged power cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been damaged
or dropped.
●
Do not operate oven without the turntable and
turntable support seated and in place.
●
Do not allow turntable to be restricted so the
turntable cannot rotate.
●
See door surface cleaning instructions in the Care
and Cleaning section(s) of your book.
●
This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact nearest
authorized service facility for examination, repair
or adjustment.
●
As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
●
Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
●
Be certain to place the front surface of the door
three inches or more back from the countertop
edge to avoid accidental tipping of the
appliance in normal usage.
●
Do not cover or block any openings 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 near
a sink.
●
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
—Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
—Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bags in oven.
—Do not use your microwave oven to dry
newspapers.
—Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may
also ignite.

SAFE~
(continued)
—Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven
unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory
or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate
and catch fire, causing damage to your
oven,
—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid
damage to the
oven
and the danger of fire. If
by accident the oven should run empty a minute
or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid
operating the oven empty at all times—it saves
energy and prolongs the life of the oven.
—Do not use the oven for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
—If materials inside oven should ignite, keep
oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
~STRUC~ONS
●
Cookware may become hot
because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the
cookware.
●
Sometimes, the turntable can become too hot to
touch, Be careful touching the turntable during
and after cooking.
●
Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may
tend to boil over more rapidly than foods
containing less moisture. Should this occur,
refer to the Care and Cleaning section(s) for
instructions on how to clean the inside of
the oven.
●
Thermometer—Do not use a thermometer in
food you are microwaving unless the thermometer
is designed or recommended for use in the
microwave oven.
●
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers-for example, closed jars-will
explode and should not be heated in this
microwave
oven,
Such use of the microwave
oven could result in injury.
●
Avoid

even
mixtures.
●
Don’t
defrost frozen beverages in narrow
necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is opened, pressure can build
up.
This can cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
●
Use metal only as directed in this book. TV
dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray
to box. When using metal in the microwave oven,
keep metal at least 1 inch away from sides
of oven.
●
Plastic
cookwar+Plastic
cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may
not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are
glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char
if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In
longer exposures to overcooking, the food and
cookware could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use
microwave-safe plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do
not permit children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.
●
When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an
temperature of at least
170°F.
This assures that, in
intemd
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe
to eat.
4
●
Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
●
Foods with unbroken outer
“skin” such as potatoes,
sausages, tomatoes, apples,
chicken livers and other giblets,
and egg yolks (see previous
caution) should be pierced to
allow steam to escape during
cooking.
●
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
●
Spontaneous boiling—Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during
w
or shortly after removal from the
microwave oven. To prevent burns
from splashing liquid, stir the
liquid briefly before removing the
container from the microwave
oven.
●
~~Boilable”
cooking pouches and
tightly
closed
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed by package. If they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage
containers should be at least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal. When cooking
with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and direct steam away
from hands and face.

MICROWAVING TIPS
—
● 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. Some cookware is labeled “suitable
for microwaving.”
● If you are not
sure if a dish is
microwave-safe,
use this test:
Place
in the oven both
the dish you are
testing and a glass
measuring cup
filled with one
water—set the
CUP
m~asuring
cup either in or next to
the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish
heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If
the dish remains cool and only the water in the
cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.
IF YOU NEED SERVICE...
● Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent
plastic wrap so steam can escape.
● Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating
or rearranging.
● Steam builds up pressure in foods which are
Check the Cooking Guide.
tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent
bursting.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make
sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
