iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

[] Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as

described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is

specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

[] As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when

used by children.

[] Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord

or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

[] The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified

service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

[] Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven. [] Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the

microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen

sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar

locations.

[] 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. [] See door surface cleaning instructions in the "Microwave

Oven Care" section.

[] To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

- Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are

placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

- Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before

placing bags in oven.

- If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off

power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

- Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave

paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

[] 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:

- Do not overheat the liquid.

- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

- After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the

container.

- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

[] Do not mount over a sink. [] Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave

oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

[] Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

equipment.

[] Intended to be used above ranges with maximum width of

36" (91.44 cm).

[] Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive

cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may

damage the filter.
