DANGER
DANGER – Immediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
WARNING – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury.
CAUTION
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 mercury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven.
7.Do not use metal utensils in oven.
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.To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered.
Grounding Instructions
Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape 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. See Installation Instructions.
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 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, 110120V.
Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement (U.S.A. Only)
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with limits for ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following:
•Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
•Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
•Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
•Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or
television interference caused by unauthorized modification to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy
A.DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
B.DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
C.DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that oven door close properly and that there is no damage to:
1.door (bent),
2.hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
3.door seals and sealing surfaces.
D.Oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
WARNING
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 LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTOTHE 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.

Getting The Best Cooking Results
To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below.
•Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods at room temperature.
•Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when cooking large pieces of food.
•Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.
•Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary.
•Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
•Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the dish.
•Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the dish.
•Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry.
•Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid overcooking the outer edges.The length of standing time depends on the density and surface area of the food.
•Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel: Sandwiches and many other foods containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out.
