Safety

Important Safety Instructions, continued

• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use near water – for example,
near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles or spattered oils stuck to
the oven walls or floor can cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of
the oven.

• Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

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

• When cleaning door and oven surfaces, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or
detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven:
a. Do not overcook food. Watch appliance carefully if paper, plastic, or other

combustible materials are inside.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from plastic cooking bags before placing bags in

oven.

c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven

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

d. Do not use the oven compartment for storage purposes. Do not leave

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

• Do not operate while empty.

• Do not cook without the glass tray in place on the oven floor. Food will not
cook properly without the tray.

• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles. The containers
can break.

• Dishes and containers can become hot. Handle with care.

• Carefully remove container coverings, directing steam away from hands and
face.

• Remove lids from food before heating. After heating baby food, stir well and
test temperature by tasting before serving.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension
cords are available and may be used with caution.

• Do not operate any other heating or cooking appliance beneath this
appliance.

• Do not mount unit over or near any portion of a heating or cooking appliance.

• Do not mount over a sink.

• Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance when it is in operation.

• Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be used, as they may
cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended
accessories, in this oven when not in use.

• Do not put this oven near flammable items and/or flammable materials such
as drapes, curtains, etc.

• Never leave the oven unattended during operation.

Important Safety Instructions for using the heater features

• Do not touch hot areas of oven, and always use hot pads, holders or gloves
when removing hot items from the oven.

• Do not use these features to heat baby food or bottles.

• Do not use these functions for defrosting your food. There is an “Auto
Defrost“ especially for this.

• Do not use the warm feature to reheat cold foods. Do not warm food for more
than 1 hour.

• Do not use paper, cardboard, plastic or anything containing these
substances.

• Do not move oven when it is hot.

• Use caution when disposing of hot grease.

• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Residue from pads can contact
electrical parts increasing risk of electric shock.

• Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in the toaster mode.

• Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will
cause overheating of the oven.

• Use caution when heater features are in use. Heater functions include Bake,
Broil, Top Brown, Warm & Speed Cook.

• Do not let children use this oven unless under the supervision of an adult.

• Failure to use caution, can lead to bodily injury.

SUPERHEATED WATER

• Superheated water may cause serious injury, so read this warning carefully.

• When microwaved water and other liquids reach the boiling point, they don’t
always bubble. Therefore, when removing hot liquids from the oven, let stand
for 30 seconds before stirring, etc.

• As a general precaution, do not heat small cups for longer than 2 minutes per
cup to avoid superheating.

ARCING

• If sparking (arcing) occurs when using microwave power, stop the oven
immediately.

• Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only
narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil and interior oven
walls.

• Make sure metal accessories, such as the wire rack and crumb tray, are in
their proper position inside the oven. Do not use these accessories during
Microwave-only cooking. These accessories are designed to be used with
the Toaster, Bake, Broil, Top Brown, Warm, and Speed Cook functions only.

Safety

IMPORTANT GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a groun ded, metallic,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding
conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the
appliance. Plug the three-prong p ower cord into a properly
grounded outlet of standard 115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven
should be the only appliance on this 15A or 20A circuit.

Note

: Do not set dishes or food on the door when it is in the
open position, as the oven may become unstable and tip
over.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if
you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you
are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use. If a long cord or extension cord is
used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.

2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord
and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over accidenta lly. If you use an exten sion
cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower may vary
when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be
longer, too.

4. Use of extremely long extension cords, or cords in poor
condition, may adversely affect cooking performance due to
voltage drop.

WARNING

Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord under any circumst ances.

Note:

Upon the oven’s first use, there may be a slight odor
due to heater “break in”. This is normal, and will not re­occur.

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 contai ner 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:

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.
