■ Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

■ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave

Oven Care” section.

■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven

when 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.

turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. 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. 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.

■ Do not mount over a sink.

■ Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave

oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

For all cord connected appliances:

The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The microwave 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.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can

result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven 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 near the microwave oven.

This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
