MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY

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:

■ Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.

■ Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID

POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found in this section.

■ The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to

properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found in the “INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS” section.

■ Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance

with the provided Installation Instructions.

■ Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and

sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars - are able to explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

■ 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ 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.
