SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The safety instructions below will tell you how to use your oven and avoid harm to yourself or damage to your oven.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy.
•Read all the instructions before using your oven.
•Do not allow children to use this oven without close supervision.
•Read and follow the specific PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY found on page 2.
•Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors, such as sulfide and chloride, in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. The microwave is made for household use only.
•Do not use or store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar location.
•Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
•Clean the ventilating hood frequently. Do not allow grease to accumulate on the hood or the filters.
•Use care when cleaning the vent hood filters. Corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-based oven cleaners may damage the filters.
•Do not tamper with the built-in safety switches on the oven door. The oven has several built-in safety switches to make sure the power is off when the door is open.
•If food flames under the hood, turn the fan on.
•Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking equipment 36 inches wide or less.
•Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.
It is made for household use only.
•When cleaning the door and the surfaces that touch the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents and a sponge or soft cloth.
•If your oven is dropped or damaged, have it thoroughly checked by a qualified service technician before using it again.
•To avoid a fire hazard:
-Do not severely overcook food. Severely overcooked foods can start a fire in the oven. Watch the oven carefully, especially if you have paper, plastic, or other combustibles in the oven.
-Do not store combustible items (bread, cookies, etc.) in the oven, because if lightning strikes the power lines it may cause the oven to turn on.
-Do not use wire twist-ties in the oven. Be sure to inspect purchased items for wire twist-ties and remove them before placing the item in the oven.
•If a fire should start:
-Keep the oven door closed.
-Turn the oven off.
-Disconnect the power cord or shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
•To avoid electric shock:
-This appliance must be grounded. Connect it only to a properly grounded outlet. See the electrical GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
on page 6.
-Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.
-Do not immerse the electrical cord or plug
in water.
- Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

SAFETY
•To avoid improperly cooking some foods.
-Do not heat any types of baby bottles or baby food. Uneven heating may occur and possibly cause personal injury.
-Do not heat small-necked containers, such as syrup bottles.
-Do not deep-fat fry in your microwave oven.
-Do not attempt home canning in your microwave oven.
-Do not heat the following items in the microwave oven: whole eggs in the shell, water with oil or fat, sealed containers, or closed glass jars. These items may explode.
•Do not cover or block any openings in the oven.
•Use your oven only for the operations described in this manual.
•Do not run the microwave empty.
•Secure the cord in the cabinet above the oven.
•Preserve the oven floor:
-Do not heat the oven floor excessively.
-Do not allow the gray film on special microwavecooking packages to touch the oven floor. Put the package on a microwavable dish.
-Do not cook anything directly on the oven floor or turntable. Use a microwavable dish.
-Keep a browning dish at least 3/16 inch above floor. Carefully read and follow the instructions for the browning dish. If you use a browning dish incorrectly, you could damage the oven floor.
•Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
•This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
•Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. 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.
