Microwave Safety Precautions

General Oven and Microwave Safety Instructions

Your microwave oven is a cooking device and you should use as much care as you use with a stove or any other cooking device. When using this electric appliance, 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, observe the following:

1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2.Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO

AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY,” found on Page 1.

3.This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See “Grounding Instructions” found in Installation Instructions.

4.Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the installation instructions.

5.Do not cover or block any openings on this appliance.

6.Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. DO NOT use corrosive chemicals, vapors, or nonfood products; in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat or cook. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and may result in radiation leaks.

7.When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

8.Do not allow children to use this appliance, unless closely supervised by an adult.

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

10.Some products such as whole eggs, narrow neck bottles and sealed containers, for example. Closed glass jars may explode and should not be heated in this oven.

11.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

(a)Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

(b)Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

(c)If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

(d)Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

12.Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

General Microwave Use

1.DO NOT tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. DO NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs must be done only by a qualified service person.

2.DO NOT OPERATE AN EMPTY OVEN.

The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven causing overheating, if food or water is not

present to absorb energy. This could damage the oven and result in a risk of fire.

3.DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in oven, or use newspapers or paper bags for cooking. Fire could result.

4.DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper product is labeled as safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks, and result in fires when used.

5.DO NOT hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may occur. Fire could result.

6.POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing items from the oven. Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the cooking container and from the cooking container to the Glass Tray. The Glass Tray can be very HOTafter removing cooking container from oven.

7.DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. These could be fire hazards.

8.DO NOT STORE THIS APPLIANCE OUTDOORS. Do not use this product near water — for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool and the like.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For proper use of your oven read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions.

Microwave Safety Precautions

MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT: Do not overcook food; fire could result. Proper cooking depends on selecting the correct power level and cooking time for the amount of food in the oven. Smaller portions of food that are cooked too long may catch fire. Always have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy. When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you can hear the magnetron cycling on and off. Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Do not block oven vents. This oven is rated for 1100 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. When preparing foods, check food 1-2 minutes before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

•The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm.

•The elimination of soil during self-cleaning generates some by-products which are on this list of substances.

•The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning ovens gives off a very small amount of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.

•To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation to the room during and immediately after self-cleaning the oven.

SAFETY FOR ALL APPLIANCES

•Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.

•Be sure the oven is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

•Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

•Never use the oven to warm or heat a room. Such use can damage the oven parts.

•For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using this appliance. Tie long hair so that it doesn't hang loose.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to an authorized servicer.

•Do not store flammable materials in or near the oven.

•Do not use water on a grease fire. Smother fire or flame or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

•Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let a potholder touch hot heating

elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

•In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, DROP AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY to extinguish flames.

•As a precaution, it is highly recommended that a fire extinguisher be readily available and highly visible next to any cooking appliance.

LOWER OVEN SAFETY

•Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of oven.

•The heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns.

•During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the heating elements or the interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

•The trim on the top and sides of the oven door may become hot enough to cause burns.

•Use care when opening the door. Open the door slightly to let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

•Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

•Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the hot heating elements.

SAFETY FOR THE SELF-CLEANING MODE

•Confirm that the door locks and will not open before starting self-clean mode. If door does not lock, DO NOT RUN SELF-CLEAN. Call service.

•Do not clean the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket.

•Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind in or around any part of the oven.

•Clean only oven parts listed in this manual.

•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, oven racks, other utensils & excess spillage.
