.,/IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont

27.

28,

Stay near the appliance while it is in use and check cooking
progress frequently. Leaving the appliance unattended may
result in overcooked food and possibly a fire in your oven.

Built-in Installations: (Microwave must be built-in with a
trim kit.) Do not mount any portion of the microwave oven
over a sink or any other heating or cooking appliance unless
the microwave oven has been approved for use above the
heating appliance. See label on the trim kit for a list of
approved heating appliances. See installation instructions

for additional installation information.

29. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4 _
deep; remove top foiI cover and return tray to box. When
using metal in microwave oven, keep metal at least 1 inch
away from the sides of the oven.

30, Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked bottles.

31. Cookware may become hot because of beat transferred
from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle
the cookware.

32. Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax
will not melt in a microwave oven because it allows

microwaves to pass through it.

33. Never use sharp-edged utensils in or near the oven.

34, Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil

over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture.

35.

Should this occur, refer to the Care and Cleaning section for
instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving

unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use
in the microwave oven.

36. 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 sub-

jected 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 cook-
ware without complete supervision.

37. Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when

opening containers of hot food, including popcorn bags,
cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury,
direct steam away from hands and face.

blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that wilt accept the
plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord
shall be equal to, or greater than, the electrical rating of the

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.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet

causing interference by turning it on and off while the interfer-
ence is occurring. If interference occurs, it may be corrected by
one or more of the following measures:

Ii, reorient the television or radio receiving antenna;

II. relocate the oven with respect to the television or radio

receiver, and/or
