Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

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, near a sink or in similar locations.

Do not mount this appliance 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 to facilitate cooking.

Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers before placing them in the oven.

Do not store any materials, other than our recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use. Microwave rack should be removed from oven when not in use.

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.

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, racks, or walls of the oven which may become hot during use.

WARNING Continued

OPERATING AND CLEANING

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

Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven surface when the microwave oven is in operation.

Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in a microwave/convection oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

Do not use paper products in oven when appliance is operating in any cooking mode except microwave.

Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—are able to explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven.

Do not cover any part of the microwave with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the microwave 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.

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.

It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild, nonabrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

SUPER HEATED WATER

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT

IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER

WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO

THE LIQUID.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING To prevent risk of electric shock, follow these instructions:

Plug microwave into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

Do not remove the ground prong or use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

A short power-supply is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

VENT FAN

The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions. Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.

Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters.

In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.

When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the fan on.

Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

PACEMAKERS

Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.
