IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

EN
4
(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 bagsbefore 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 cavity for storage purposes. Do NOT leave paper
products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
17. 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.
18. Keep the spatter shield (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.
19. 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 persons:
1. Do NOT overheat the liquid.
2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
3. Do NOT use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven
for a short time before removing the container.
5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
General Use
1. Do NOT attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to door,
control panel or any other part of the oven. Do NOT remove outer panel
from oven. Repairs should only be done by qualified service personnel.
2. Do NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect
continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb
energy.
3. If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the Pause/Cancel button and LEAVE THE
DOOR CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse

or circuit breaker panel.
4. Do NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven.
They may catch on fire.
5. Do NOT use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and
waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite.
Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as
they may ignite.
6. Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin
strip of metal embedded on the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can
burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.
7. Avoid inserting nails, wire, etc. through any holes in the unit during
operation. Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal objects through the
holes on the cavity or any other holes or gaps, because such objects
may cause electric shock and microwave leakage.
8. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
9. The appliances are not intended to be operated by means of an external
timer or separate remote-control system.
10. The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the
appliance is operating.
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE
Utensils
1. METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic rims should not be used.
Arcing may occur.
2. METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the microwave oven.
3. Do NOT useSEALED JARS or NARROW NECK bottles for cooking or
reheating. They may shatter.
4. Do NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the microwave oven.
They may cause arcing.

Food
1. Never use your microwave oven for HOME CANNING. The oven is not
designed to permit proper canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and
be dangerous to consume.
2. COOKING TIMES given in the cooking guide are approximate. Factors that

EN
6
may affect cooking are starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape
of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be
able to adjust for these factors.
3. It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is
undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If
food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking
times.
4. SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW MOISTURE content can
burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.
5. Do NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs may
explode.
6. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn squash and sausage are some
examples of foods with NONPOROUS SKINS. These must be pierced before
cooking to prevent bursting.
7. POPCORN must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped
corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping. Do NOT use oven for
popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn utensil or unless
it’s commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave
ovens. Do NOT use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
8. Do NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
