Microwave ovens have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with any
appliance, there are special installation and safety precautions which must be followed to ensure
safe and satisfactory operation and prevent damage to the unit.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons or
damage when using the microwave oven, follow basic precau-
tions, including the following:
l
Read all instructions before using the micro-
wave oven.
l
Read and follow the specific “Precautions To
Avoid Possible Exposure To Excessive Micro-
wave Energy” found on page 4.
. This appliance must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See
Grounding Instructions found on page 27.
l
Install or locate this appliance only in accor-
dance with the provided Installation Instruc-
tions found on page 26.

sealed containers - for example, closed
glass jars - may explode and should not be
heated in this oven.
l

as described in this manual.
l
As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.

ards may result.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
- 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.
- Do not deep fry in oven.
- Test dinnerware or cookware before
using. See page 33. Some dishes (mela-
mine, Centura@, etc.) absorb microwave
energy, becoming too hot to handle and
slowing cooking times. Remove wire twist-
ties from paper or plastic bags before plac-
ing bag in oven. Cooking in metal con-
tainers can damage the oven. So can con-
tainers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lin-
ing, staples, metallic glaze or trim).
- 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.
l
Do not heat, store or use flammable materials
in or near the oven. Fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.
l
Read and follow “Operating Safety Precau-
tions” starting on page 30.
