CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
Carefully review all of these specifications and warnings BEFORE operating your microwave oven. Failure
to do so may cause fires, damage, injury or bodily harm including permanent disability and/or death.
Use containers only known to be microwave safe!
1. Install or place this oven in strict accordance with the installation instructions provided.
2. Use this appliance only for its intended uses as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in or near the appliance. This oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry
food in a home consumer setting. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
3. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this oven near water, (for example, near a
kitchen sink), in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or other wet locations.
4. As with any cooking appliance, closely supervise any use to reduce the risk of a fire in the oven.
Close supervision is especially necessary when the appliance is used by children.
5. Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from containers and bags before placing them in the oven.
6. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed! Turn the oven off and unplug the
appliance. Disconnect the power cord and shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
7. Do not use the oven cavity for storage purposes.
8. This oven must be grounded with a properly grounded outlet. See the section "ELECTRICAL
GROUNDING"
9. Do not immerse the cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the cord
hang over the edge of a table or counter. Do not operate this oven if the cord or plug is damaged or is
not working properly.
10. Do not overcook food. Carefully monitor the appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven.
11. Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers such as glass jars, are prone to explode
and should not be heated in the oven. 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. Make sure these items are microwave
safe!
13. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea can be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to boil. Bubbling or boiling is not always visible. This can result in scalding liquids suddenly boiling
over when the container is disturbed or a spoon or if another utensil is inserted into the liquid. Stir
liquids both before and halfway through heating.
14. After heating, allow the containers to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container. Do not
use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
15. Cooking utensils may become hot due to heat being transferred from the heated food. Potholders
may be needed to handle the utensil.
16. Use only thermometers that are specifically designed for use in microwave ovens.
17. Be certain the glass tray and roller rings are in place when you operate the oven
18. Do not operate any heating or cooking appliance beneath this appliance.
