PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
1. Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since
open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or
allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3. Do not operate the oven if damaged. It is particularly important that the
oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
1. DOOR (bent)
2. HINGES AND LATCHES (broken or loosened)
3. DOOR SEALS AND SEALING SURFACES
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly
qualied service personnel.
A SPECIAL NOTE ON ARCING
“Arcing” refers to the presence of sparks
inside the microwave oven.
It can be caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the inside walls
of the oven.
• Foil not closely molded to food, where
edges have been left sticking up.
• Small metal parts such as twist-ties,
poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes.
• Recycled paper towels which may
contain small amounts of metal.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read carefully and follow the specic “Precautions to avoid possible
exposure to excessive microwave energy” on page 3.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly
grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on page 6.
4. Install or position this appliance only in accordance with the
provided installation instructions on page 9.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -for
example, closed glass jars- can potentially explode and should not
be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for the intended uses as described in this
manual. This type of oven is specically designed to heat, cook, or
dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use. Do not
use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by
children.
8. To reduce the risk of re in the oven cavity;
• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the appliance 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
bag 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 purpose. Do not leave paper
products, cooking utensils or food inside the cavity when not in use.
9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can 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.
10. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difcult to control the
temperature of oil in a microwave oven.
11. Foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples and
chestnuts should be pierced with a fork or the tip of a sharp knife
before cooking.

precautions should be followed, including the following
