2. Read and follow the specific warning:
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY, page 3.
3. This appliance must be grounded.
Connect only to properly grounded
outlet. See GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS, page 4.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the COUNTERTOP

supervision is necessary when it is used
by children.
8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly or if it has been damaged or
dropped.

10. Do not cover or block any openings on
the appliance.
11. Do not store or use this appliance
outdoors.
12. Do not use this product near water, for
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, or
similar locations.
13. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
14. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
15. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter.
16. When cleaning surfaces of door and
oven that come together on closing the
door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps
or detergents applied with a sponge or
soft cloth.
17. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
interior:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance when 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 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 interior for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper
products, cooking utensils or food in
the oven when not in use.
18. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea
can be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling.
This is called delayed eruptive 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 UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
19. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not use straight-sided containers
with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouth
container.
b. Stir liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
c. Do not overheat liquid.
d. Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the
container. This may also cause
delayed eruptive boiling.
e. After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for at
least 20 seconds before removing the
container.
