TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE OVEN

CAVITY

■ Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven while cooking.

■ Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper
or plastic containers before placing them in the oven.

■ Do not store any materials, other than our recom­mended accessories, in this oven when not in use. Do
not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in
the cavity when not in use. Microwave rack should be
removed from oven when not in use.

■ If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door
closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power
cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.

■ Do not operate the microwave without food in the
oven.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS

■ Be careful when opening containers of hot food. Use
pot holders and direct steam away from face and
hands.

■ Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches, or plastic
bags to prevent build-up of pressure.

■ Be careful when touching the turntable, door, or walls
of the oven which may become hot during use.

■ Liquids and certain foods heated in the microwave
oven can present a risk of burn when removing them
from the microwave. The potential for a burn is greater
in young children, who should not be allowed to re­move hot items from the microwave.

OPERATING AND CLEANING

■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.

■ Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave
surface when the microwave oven is in operation.

■ Oversized food or oversized metal cookware should
not be used in a microwave/convection oven because
they increase the risk of electric shock and could
cause a fire.

■ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can
burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving
risk of electric shock.

■ Do not use paper products in oven when appliance is
operated in any cooking mode except microwave only.

OPERATING AND CLEANING (Continued)

■ Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers—for example, closed jars—are able to
explode and should not be heated in this microwave
oven.

■ Do not cover the microwave rack or any part of the
oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the
microwave/convection oven.

■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to
these temperatures usually protects against foodborne
illness.

■ Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven
is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles,
cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups,
pottery or china dinnerware which does not have
metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be
used.in compliance with cookware manufacturers’
recommendations.

■ It is important to keep the area clean where
the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild,
nonabrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or
soft cloth. Rinse well.

SUPERHEATED WATER

■ 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.

minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized
cookware and use high heat on surface units only
when necessary.
