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

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.
