• This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact nearest
authorized service facility for examination, repair or
adjustment.
• As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessarry when used by children.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
• Do not overcook food.
• Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside the oven
while cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from
paper or plastic containers before placing them in the
oven.
• Do not use the oven for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the
oven when not in use.
• Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.
• If materials inside oven should ignite, keep the oven
door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door
is opened, the fire may spread.
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING
ARCING
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. If you see arcing, press the START/STOP”
button and correct the problem.
Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like
antennae).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or goldrimmed dishes, in the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces being used in the microwave.
• Only cook popcorn in your microwave oven using
a special microwave popcorn accessory dish, unless
you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
• Some products- such as whole eggs (with shell),
sealed containers, and closed jars - will explode and
should not be heated in this microwave oven.
Heating these products in the microwave oven could
result in injury.
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
• Operating the microwave with no food inside for
more than a minute or two may cause damage to the
oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat
around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the
oven.
• Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes,
hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to
allow steam to escape before cooking.

SAFETY FACT:
SUPERHEATED WATER
Microwaved water and other liquids do not always
bubble when they reach the boiling point; they can
actually get superheated and not bubble at all.
Superheated liquid can bubble up when it is moved or
when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.
To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do
not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup.
After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for 30
seconds before moving it or putting anything into it.
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the
lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be
careful to prevent scalding when warming formula.
The container may feel cooler than the milk really is.
Always test the milk before feeding the baby.
• Spontaneous boiling- Under certain circumstances,
liquids may start to boilduring or shortly after
removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns
from splashing liquid, we recommend the following:
Before removing the container from the oven, allow
the container to stand in the the oven for 30 to 40
seconds after the oven has shut off. Do not boil
liquids in narrow-necked containers such as soft drink
bottles, wine flasks and especially narrow-necked
coffee cups. Even if the container is opened,
excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or
overflow.
• Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked
bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the
container is opened, pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in
injury.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful
when opening any containers of hot food, including
popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent
possible injury, direct steam away from hands and
face.
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate
and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly- meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71.1°C), and
poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of
180°F (82.2°C). Cooking to these temperatures
usually protects against food borne illness.
MICROWAVE-SAFE
COOKWARE
Most glass casserole, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which do not
have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware will be labeled “suitable for
microwaving”.
• If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving.
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING
• Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper
towels, napkins, and waxed paper can contain metal
flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper
products containing nylon or nylon filament should
be avoided, as they may also ignite.
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Check the package for proper use.
• Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is
packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in
the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn
the floor of the oven, or ignite a paper towel.
• Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be
needed to handle the cookware.
• “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pierced, or vented as
directed by package. If they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly
resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers
should be at least partially uncovered because they
form a tight seal. When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering
carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.
• Paper towels, waxed paper, and plastic wrap can be
used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and
prevent splattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so
steam can escape.
How to test for a microwave-safe dish:
1) Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and
a glass measuring cup filled with1 cup of water.
2) Set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
3) Microwave 1 minute on high power.
If the dish heats, it should not be used for
microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the
water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwavesafe.
• Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners
may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high;
remove the top foil cover and return the tray to the
box. When using foil in the microwave, keep the foil
at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.
• Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking
is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are glass and ceramic
materials, and may soften or char if subjected to short
periods of over-cooking. In longer exposure to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1) Use Microwave-safe plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations.
2) Do not microwave empty containers.
3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.
