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 2.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly
grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" section.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the
provided installation instructions.
5. Do not operate the oven when empty.

9. 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 into oven.
c. If anything inside the oven ignites, do not open the oven
door. Turn off the oven and disconnect the power from
the outlet or at the fuse/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.
10. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can be heated up
beyond its boiling point, while without appearing to boil.
It is 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 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 taking out the
container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil
into the container.
11. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control
the temperature of oil in microwave oven.
12. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole
squash, apples and chestnuts before cooking.
13. 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.

transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be needed
to handle the utensil.
