IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
What You Need
to Know About
Safety Instructions
Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this manual
are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may
occur. Common sense, caution, and
care must be exercised when
maintaining, or operating microwave.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or manufacturer
about problems or conditions you do
not understand.
Grounding
Instructions
Oven MUST be
grounded.
Grounding reduces risk of electric
shock by providing an es-
cape wire for the electric current if an
electrical short occurs. This oven is
equipped with a 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 servicer if grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If
the product power cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician install a
three-slot receptacle. This oven
should be plugged into a separate 60
hertz circuit with the electrical rating
as shown in specifications table.
When the combination oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an
increase in cooking times may be
required and fuses can be blown.
Microwave operates on standard
household current, 110-120V.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4
Recognize this symbol as a SAFETY message
To avoid risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend oven
when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door
CLOSED, turn oven off and disconnect the power
cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
d. DO NOT use the cavity for storage. DO NOT
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to 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 LIQ-
UIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A
SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
1. DO NOT overheat the liquid.
2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
3. DO NOT use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe
the following:
1. DO NOT deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and
be hazardous to handle.
2. DO NOT cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an
unbroken yolk using microwave energy.
Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with
fork or knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods
before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is
pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4. DO NOT operate oven without load or food in oven
cavity.
5. Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled
for microwave use. Popping time varies depending
on oven wattage. Do not continue to heat after
popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn.
Do not leave oven unattended.
6. DO NOT use regular cooking thermometers in oven.
Most cooking thermometers contain mer-cury and may
cause an electrical arc, malfunc-tion, or damage to oven.
7. DO NOT use metal utensils in oven except when
recommended by microwave food manufacturers or
recipe requires metal utensils in convection or
combination mode. Heat food in containers made of
glass or china if possible.
8. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials that are not intended for cooking.
9. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on product use.
10. DO NOT use paper towels which contain nylon or
other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt
and cause paper to ignite.
11. DO NOT heat sealed containers or plastic bags in
oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause
container or bag to break. Pierce or open container
or bag before cooking.
12. Racks, utensils and oven surfaces may become hot
during or after use. Use utensils or protective
clothing, like pan grips or dry oven mitts, when
necessary to avoid burns.
13. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physi-cian
or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of
microwave energy on pacemaker.
