TIONS” found on page 10.

Instructions found on page 9.

the shell and sealed containers - for
example, closed glass jars - could
explode and should not be heated in this
oven.
l Do not heat, store, or use flammable
materials in or near the oven. Fumes
could create a fire hazard or explosion.
l Use this appliance only for its intended
use as described in this manual. Do not

.To reduce the risk of fire in the
oven cavity:
- Do not overcook food. Carefully
attend appliance if paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking. Paper could char or burn,
and some plastics could melt if used
when heating foods.
- Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable
utensils are not suitable and it is
difficult to maintain appropriate deep
frying temperatures.
- Test dinnerware or cookware
before using. To test a dish for safe
use, put it into the oven with a cup of
water beside it. Cook at 100% cook
power for one minute. If the dish
gets hot and water stays cool, do
not use it. Some dishes (melamine,
some ceramic dinnerware, etc.)
absorb microwave energy, becoming
too hot to handle and slowing cooking
times. Cooking in metal containers
not designed for microwave use could
damage the oven, as could containers
with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining,
staples, metallic glaze or trim).
- Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in
oven.
- 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.
- Do not use the cavity for storage pur-
poses. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.
- Do not operate any heating or cooking
appliance beneath this appliance.
- Do not mount unit over or near any
portion of a heating or cooking appli-
ance.
- Do not mount over a sink.
- Do not store anything directly on top of
the appliance when appliance is in
operation.
l Read and follow “Operating safety
precautions” starting on page 7.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords
are available and may be used if care
is exercised in their use.
