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:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on
page 1.
This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet.
See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on
page 4.
Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with
the provided installation instructions.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed glass jars-may
explode and should not be heated in this oven.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
This appliance should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel.
Contact nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come
together when closing the door, use only mild, non-
abrasive soap or detegents applied with a sponge or
soft cloth.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if
paper, plastic, or other com-bustible 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.
Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive
chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides).
Vapours from such corrosive chemicals may interact
with the contacts and springs of the safety interlock
switches thereby rendering them inoperable.
Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth
after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in
the cavity it may overheat,
smoke or even catch fire when next using
the oven.
Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot
control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire.
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:
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.
