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 befo re 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 try to preheat oven or operate while empty.

• Do not cook without the glass tra y in place on the ov en 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 over a sink.

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

• If materials inside oven should 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. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.

MPORTANT GROUNDING NSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

AVE

HESE INSTRUCTIONS

Safety

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.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified e lectrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

WARNING

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

• Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

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.

NOTE

Connect the oven only to a 20A or greater dedicated circuit.

THE VENT FAN

The fan will operate automatically u nder certa in cond itions (se e page 15).Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.

• Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters.

• In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

• Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.

• Do not prepare flaming foods under the microwave when the fan is operating.

AVE

HESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.
