If you received a damaged oven...

Immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that sold you the oven.

Save time and money. Before you request service...

Check the Problem Solver in the back of this book. It lists causes of minor operating problems that you can correct yourself.

All these things are normal with your microwave oven.

● Steam or vapor escaping from

around the door.

● Light reflection around door or

outer case.

● Dimming oven light and change

in blower sound may occur while operating at power levels other than high.

● Dull thumping sound while oven

is operating.

● Some TV-Radio interference

might be noticed while using your microwave oven. It’s similar to the interference caused by other small appliances and does not indicate a problem with

your oven.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

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

producti.

Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon

be avoided, as they

may also ignite.

—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 2, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at

alI

times—it saves

energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

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 heating baby food in glass jars, even

without their lids; especially meat and egg 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

at least

1 inch away from sides of oven.

●

Cookware may become hot because

of heat transferred from the heated

food.

Pot holders may be needed to

handle the cookware.

●

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.

●

Remove the temperature probe from the oven

when not using it to cook with. If you leave the

probe inside the oven without inserting it in food

or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can

create

arcing in the oven and damage

oven walls.

●

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 internal temperature of at least

170°F.

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.

●

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 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.

~~Boi]able”

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 beat 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.

●

Use of the shelf accessory. —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 pot holders when handling the shelf and

cookware. They may be hot.

—Do not use microwave browning dish on shelf.

The shelf could overheat. —Use the shelf only when cooking on 2 levels. —Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly

inside the oven to prevent product damage.
