SPECIAL NO T/E\SAB OUF MICRO WAVING

Arcing is the microwave

term tot sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

o The metal shelf (if

included) not installed correctly so it touches the

microwave wall.

The temperature probe

(if included) in the

microwave but not inserted in the tood.

o Metal or toil touching

the side of the oven.

Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled tot

use in microwave ovens.

Do not boil eggs in a n/icrowave oven. Pressure

will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in iI_.jury.

o Foil not molded to tood

(upturned edges act like

a n te n n }is ).

o Metal, such as/wist-ties,

poultry pins or gold- rimmed dishes, in the

Ill ic rowave.

o Recycled paper towels

containing small metal pieces being used in the

Ill ic rowave.

o Operating the microwave

with no tood inside tot more than a minute or

/wo may cause damage to the oven and could

start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can

shorten the lite of the oven.

* Foods with unbroken

outer "skin" such as potatoes, hot dogs,

sausages, tonlatoes,

apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave

oven is suitable tot 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 R)r

nlicrowaving."

H0w t0 test f0r a

micr0wave-saie dish,

o If you are not sure if

a dish is microwave-sate, use this test: Place in the

oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with ] cup of water--set the measuring cup either

in or next to the dish. Microwave 30-45 seconds

at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used %r

microwaving.

If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish

is microwave-sate.

If you use a meat thermometer while

cooking, make sure it is sate tot use in microwave

ovens.

o 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.

* Some sWrotoam tcays

(like those that meat is

packaged on) have a thin strip of me/al embedded

in the bottom. When microwaved, tile metal can

burn the floor of the oven or igni/c a paper towel.

o Do not/Ise the n/icyowave

to dry newspapers.

o Not all plastic wrap

is suitable %r use in

microwave ovens.

Check tile package %r proper use.

o 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 st)

ste}ln/ c}ln escape.

* Cookware may become

hot because of heat transterred from the heated tood. Pot holders

may be needed to handle the cookware.

o "goilable" 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 resuhing in i11.jur}_Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they torm a tight seal.

exists before use,

A WARNING

Improper use of the

grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

This appliance must 1)e grounded. In the event of

an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces tile

risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire

fi)r 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.

Consuh a qualified electrician or service

technician if tile grounding instIucfions are not

comple/ely understood, or if doubt exists as to

whether the appliance is pr(_perly gr(mnded.

If the outlet is a s/;mdard 2-prong w;fll omlet, it is

your personal responsil)ilit)' and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded ?_prong wall

outlet.

Do not, under _lny circ/ln/st;lnces, cilt or

remove the third (ground) prong fl'om the power cord.

Do not use an adaptor plug with this appliance.

Do not use an ex/ension cord with this appliance.

If the power cord is too short, have a qualified

electrician or service /cchnician install an outlet

near the appliance.

For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical out]et/o prevent flickering of ligh/s, blowing of fl_se or tripping of circuit

breaker.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The tim will operate automatically under certain conditions {see Automatic Fan tbature). Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires

while the vent tim is in use.

o Clean the underside of

the microwave often. Do not allow grease

to build up on the

microwave or the tim filter.

o In the event of a grease

fire on the surihce units below the microwave

oven, smother a flaming pan on the surfi_ce unit

by covering the pan completely with a lid, a

cookie sheet or a fiat tray.

o Use care when cleaning

the vent tan filter. Corrosive cleaning

agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, n/ay

damage the filter.

When preparing flaming foods trader the micrm_axe,

ttlrn the xent tan on.

Never leave surfi_ce units beneath your microwave

oven unattended at high
