Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
described in this 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.
n
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.
n
The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel. Call an authorized service company
for examination, repair, or adjustment.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
n
Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive cleaning
agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.
n
Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.
n
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, or near a swimming pool, or similar

See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave
Oven Care” section.
n
Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not
be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a
fire or risk of electric shock.

recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
n
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave
oven when the microwave oven is in operation.
n
Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with
metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
n
Dishes and containers can become hot. Handle with care.
n
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Carefully remove
container coverings, directing steam away from your
hands and face.
n
Remove lids from baby food before heating. After heating
baby food, stir well to distribute the heat evenly. Always
test the temperature by tasting before feeding the baby.
The glass jar or surface of the food may appear to be
cooler than the food in the interior, which can be so hot
that it will burn the infant’s mouth.

Do not put your face or body close to the appliance while
cooking or when opening the door just after cooking.

n
Do not cook without the glass tray in place on the oven
floor. Food will not cook properly without the tray.
