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
M ICROWAVE ENERGY ” on page 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only
to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS ” on page 3.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers, for example, closed glass jars are
able to explode and should not be heated in this
oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type
of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or
dry food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
8. 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
e. This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact nearest
authorized service facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.
9. Liquids,such as water, coffee, or tea are able
to be overheated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to be boiling due to
surface tension of the liquid. 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
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To
reduce the risk of injury to person:
a: Do not overheat the liquid
b: Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
c: Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
d: After heating, allow the container to stand
in the microwave oven for a short time
before removing the container
e: Use extreme care when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container.
10. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult
to control the temperature of oil in microwave
oven.
11. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as
potatoes, whole squash, apples and
chestnuts before cooking.
12. The contents of feeding bottles and
baby jars should be stirred or shaken
and the temperature should be checked
before serving in order to avoid burns.
