SAFETY

Readall instructionsbeforeusing this

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING—TO reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to

excessive microwave energy:

● Use this appliance only for its

intended use as described in this manual.

e Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 2.

0 This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”

found on page 12. e For best operation, plug this

appliance into its own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

e Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the pro-

vided installation instructions. e Be certain to place the front

surfaceof the door three inches

or more back from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance in normal usage.

e Do not cover or block any

openings on the appliance. * Do not use outdoors. e Do not immerse power cord

or plug in water. @ Keep power cord away from

heated surfaces. s Do not let power cord hang

over edge of table or counter. a Do not operate this appliance

if it has a damaged power cord

or pIug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

m See door surface cleaning instructions Ln page 11.

@ This appliance should be serviced only by qualified servic~ personnel. Contact nearest authorized servicmfacility for examifiaticm, repair or adjustment.

o As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children,

● To reduce the risk of fire in

the oven cavity: —-Donot overcook food. Care-

fully 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 bag in oven.

—Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

—Paper towels and napkins,

wax paper. Recycled paper

products 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.

—Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a spe-

cial microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

—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 al! times—it saves energy and pro-

longs life of the oven.

—If materials inside the oven

should ignite, keep oven door

closed, turn oven off, and dis-

connect the power cord, or shut

off power at the fuse or circuit

breaker panel.

SAFETY

‘.

(continued) * %me

whole eggs and sealed containers—-for example, closed

glass jars—may explode and should not be heated in this oven.

● Avoid heating baby food in

glass jars, even without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

e Don’t defrost frozen bever- ages in narrow necked bottles; especially carbonated ones. Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can

cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.

o Use metal only as directed in Cookbook. Metal strips as used on meat roasts are helpful when used as shown in Cookbook.

TV dinners may be cooked in metal trays but when using shelf

they must be replaced in their

box. However, when using metal

in microwave oven, keep metal

(except for shelf) at least l-inch away from sides of oven.

e Cooking utensils may

become hot because of heat

transferred from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering

the top and handles of the

utensil. Potholders may be

needed to handle the utensil. @ Sometimes, the oven floor

can become too hot to touch.

Be careful touching the floor

during and after cooking.

@ DO not use any thermometer in food you are microwaving unless that thermometer is designed or recommended for

use in the microwave oven.

@ Remove the temperature

probe from the oven when not using it to cook with. If yOLJleave

theprobe inside the oven without

inserting it in food or Iiquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the

oven, and damage oven wails.

* Plastic UM$W’-PIW5IK

utensils ck?sqned for microwave cooking arw very l/$@fUl,but should be used carefully. Even microwave plastic may not be 8s tolerant of overcooking cx.mdi-

tions 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 utensils could ignite, For these reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics only “and use them” in strict compliance with the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty utensils to micro-

waving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic utensils without complete supervision.

o When cooking pork follow

our directions exactly and always cook the meat to at least 170°. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina

may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

49 Boiling eggs (in and out of shell) is not recommended for microwave cooking. Pressure can build up inside egg yolk and may cause it to burst, resulting in injury.

e Foods with unbroken outer

“skin”such as potatoes, hot dogs or sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other

giblets, and eggs (see above) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

a Use of the DOUBLE IXJTY’M shelfaccessory.(See

book for proper use.) —Remove the shelf from oven

when not in use. —Do not store or cook with

shelf on ‘floor of oven. Product damage may result.

—Use potholders when handling _ the shelf and utensils. They may

be hot.

—Do not use microwave

browning dish on shelf. The

shelf could overheat.
