●

Do not store this appliance

outdoom.

Do not

use this product near water—for example, in a wet

basement, near a swimming pool or near a sink.

●

This microwave oven is not approved or tested

for marine use.

Do not store anything directly on top of the

microwave oven surface when the oven is in operation.

●

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

apptiance

if it

has

a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or

it has been damaged

or dropped.

●

See door surface cleaning instructions in the

Care

●

This

apphance

should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

●

As with any appliance,

supervision is

necessary when used by children.

●

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

filamenk

shodd

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.

(continued eexrpage)

~PORTANT SAFEm

~STRUCTIONS

(continual)

—Do not

use the oven

for

storage purposes.

Do not

Ieave paper

products, cooking utensils

or food in the oven when not in use.

—Ematerials 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.

●

Some

products such as whole eggs and sealed

containe%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 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

mehl

(other than metal

shel~

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

electrica~

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”

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 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.

●

Hot foods and steam can cause

burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches

and-

boxes. To prevent possible injury, 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.

Use of shelf

witi

Auto Cook, Auto Reheat or Popcorn feature is not recommended (see the Auto Cook, Auto Reheat or Popcorn sections).

The Exhaust

Hood

●

Have it installed and properly grounded by a

qualified installer. See the special installation booklet packed with the microwave oven.

●

The exhaust fan in the oven will operate

automatically under certain conditions (see Automatic Fan Feature). While the fan

operating, caution is required to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the exhaust fan is in use. For this reason:

—Never leave surface units unattended at high

heat settings.

Boilover

causes smoking and

greasy

spillovers

that may ignite

and

spread if exhaust fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat only when necessary.

d’,

—In the event of a grease

fire,

smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with

well-

fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

—Clean the vent hood often. Do not allow grease

to buildup on the hood or the filter.

—Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter.

Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

—When flaming foods under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread

the

flame.
