IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To avoid risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend oven
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 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. DO NOT leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the
cavity when not in use.
A WARNING
To avoid risk of fire in the oven cavity:
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:
i) Do not overheat the liquid.
ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
iii) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
iv) After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
v) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.
A CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
1. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and 7.
be hazardous to handle. 8.
2. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an
unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure
may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or
knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods
before cooking with microwave energy. When skin
is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4. Do not operate oven without load or food in oven
cavity.
5. Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies
depending on oven wattage. Do not continue to
heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch
or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.
6. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven.
Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and
may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or
damage to oven.

Do not use metal utensils in oven.
Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials that are not intended for cooking.
When cooking with paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials, follow manufacturer's
recommendations on product use.
Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or
other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could
melt and cause paper to ignite.
Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in
oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and
cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open
container or bag before cooking.
To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult
physician or pacemaker manufacture about effects
of microwave energy on pacemaker.
