SAFETY

PROPER AND SAFE USE OF YOUR OVEN

• The oven must be on a leveled surface.

• The turntable and turntable roller rest must be in the oven during cooking.

• Place the cookware gently on the turntable and handle it carefully to avoid possible breakage.

• Incorrect use of browning dish may cause the turntable to break.

• Use carefully when cooking food in the microwave oven to avoid burning due to excessive cooking.

•Use only the specified bag size when using Direct Access Popcorn.

• Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

• The oven has several built-in safety switches to ensure that the power remains off when the door is open. Do not tamper with these switches.

• Do not operate the microwave oven empty. Operating the oven with no food or food that is extremely low in moisture can cause fire, charring or sparking.

• Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable. Excessive local heating of the turntable may cause it to break.

• Do not remove feet from the bottom of the oven.

• Do not heat baby bottles or baby food in the microwave oven. Uneven heating may occur and could cause physical injury.

• Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such as syrup bottles.

• Do not attempt to deep-fry in your microwave oven.

• Do not do home canning in this microwave oven as it is impossible to be sure all contents of the jar have reached boiling temperature.

•Do not use this microwave oven for commercial purposes. This microwave oven is made for household use only.

•To prevent eruptive boiling of hot liquids and beverages or scalding yourself, stir liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through cooking time. Let stand in the oven for a short time and stir again before removing the container.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING -

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page 2.

3. As with most cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a fire in the oven cavity.

If materials inside the oven 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.

Keep in mind the following rules at all times:

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully

attend the appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b. Do not use the oven cavity for storage

purposes. Do not store combustible items such as bread, cookies, paper products, etc. inside the oven. If lightning strikes the power line, the oven may turn on by itself.

c. Remove wire twist-ties and metal

handles from paper or plastic containers/bags before placing them in the oven.

4. This oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on page 6.

5. Install or locate this oven only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

6. Some products such as whole eggs, water with oil or fat, sealed containers and closed glass jars may explode and therefore should not be heated in this oven.

7. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

8. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

9. Do not operate this oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

10. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service technicians. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

11. Do not cover or block any vents on the oven.

12. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.

13. Do not use this oven near water, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, or similar locations.

14. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

15. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

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

17. When cleaning door and oven surfaces that meet when door is closed, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. (See “Cleaning” instructions on page 22.)

18. 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.

SAFETY

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

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 cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.

•

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer cord sets or extension cords 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

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 unintentionally.

UTENSILS

Do not exceed 1 minute testing time.

CAUTION:

1. Do not use plastic containers for testing.

2. Some containers and dishware may be warm (or hot) in only one area. Do not use a container that becomes warm anywhere.

CAUTION

Personal Injury Hazard

•Tightly-closed utensils could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches pierced before cooking.

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard

•Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard

• Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.
