recycled paper products. Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven. Such
products sometimes contain impurities which could ignite.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing them 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 oven for storage. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in
the oven when not in use.
e. Do not pop popcorn except in a microwave approved popcorn popper or in a
commercial package recommended especially for microwave ovens.
f. D o not overcook potatoes. They may dehydrate and catch fire.
g. Do not use for drying clothes, linens, newspaper or similar non-food type items.
21. Do not operate the oven when empty or with an empty utensil to avoid damage to the
oven and danger of fire.
22. Do not lean on the oven door. The door is designed to close tightly and seal properly for
safe operation. Leaning on the door may warp or break the hinges.
23. To avoid exposure to dangerous high voltage, DO NOT REMOVE THE SPLATTER SHIELD
inside the oven cavity.
24. 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 A SPOON OR
OTHER 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.
25. Read and follow specific microwave oven preparation instructions on food packages or
containers (especially baby food). Above all, this is a cooking appliance designed to
prepare food.
26. Use only cooking utensils and accessories made for use in the microwave and specifically
described in this manual.
27. Microwave oven manufacturers do not recommend deep fat frying or frying in a microwave
oven. Hot oil can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in skin burns.
28. Plastic wrap : Use only those types designed for microwave oven use and avoid forming an
air-tight seal. Fold back a small corner or cut a small slit to allow steam to escape.
29. Stay near the appliance while it is in use and check cooking progress frequently. Leaving
the appliance unattended may reslut in overcooked food and possibly a fire in your oven.
30. Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods
containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and Cleaning section for
insturctions on how to clean the inside of the oven.
31. Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed
or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
32. Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used
carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions
as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of
overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.
