and safety precautions which must be followed to ensure safe and
satisfactory operation and prevent damage to the unit.

TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found
on page 3.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Con-
nect only to properly grounded outlets. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found in
the installation instructions.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the separately provided
Installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers - for example, closed
glass jars -
may explode and should not
be heated in this oven.
6.
Use this appliance only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision
is necessary when used by children.

damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged or

ards may result.

16.
To reduce the risk of fire or 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. Paper can char
or burn, and some plastics can melt if used
when heating foods.
b. Test dinnerware or cookware before
using. See page 24. Some dishes
(melamine, Centura,@ etc.) absorb micro-
wave energy, becoming too hot to handle
and slowing cooking times. Remove wire
twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven. Cooking in metal
containers can damage the oven. So can
containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil
lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim.)
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.
17. Read and follow “Operating Safety
Precautions” starting on page 22.
18.
Because of the automatic exhaust fan
feature, the following cautions must be
observed:
a. Do not leave the area when using your
cooktop at a high setting. Accidental fires
from boil-overs or spattering on the surface
unit could spread, especially if the exhaust
fan is operating.
b. Do not allow grease and soil to build up
in the grease filter. Exhaust fan efficiency
will decrease and fire may result. Clean
often following the filter cleaning instruc-
tions on page 19.
c. Do not flame foods when operating the
exhaust fan. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flame and cause personal in-
jury or property damage.
