Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter.
When cleaning surfaces of door and
oven that come together when
closing the door, use only mild, non­
abrasive soaps or detergents applied
with a sponge or soft cloth.
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.

Do not use this microwave oven to
heat corrosive chemicals (for
example, sulfides and chlorides).
Vapors
from such corrosive
chemicals may interact with the
contact and springs of the safety
interlock switches thereby rendering
them inoperable.
Keep the waveguide cover clean at all
times. Wipe the oven interior with a
soft damp cloth after each use. If you
leave grease or fat anywhere in the
cavity it may overheat, smoke or even
catch fire when next using the oven.
Never heat oil or fat for deep frying
as you cannot control the
temperature and doing so may lead
to overheating and fire.
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 A SPOON
OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the
risk of injury to persons:
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.
