IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See
"GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" on page 4.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -for example, closed
glass jars- are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do
not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
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 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.
9. 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 micro-
wave oven is not always present. THEIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQ-
UIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to person:
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.
10. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control the temperature of
oil in microwave oven.
11. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples and
chestnuts before cooking.
12. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and
the temperature should be checked before serving in order to avoid burns.
