IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

n

Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as

described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals
or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.

n

Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged

cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.

n

The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified

service personnel. Call an authorized service company
for examination, repair, or adjustment.

n

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.

leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the
cavity when not in use.

n

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.

n

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
– Do not overheat the liquid.

oven for a short time before removing the container.

– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil

into the container.

n

cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filter.
