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.

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

•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.

•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. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.

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 try to preheat oven or 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 baby food before heating. After heating baby food, stir well and test temperature by tasting before serving.

•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.

•This over-the-range oven was designed for use over ranges no wider than 91.44 cm(36 inches). It may be installed over both gas and electric cooking equipment.

•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:

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.
