IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
12. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found on page 1.
13. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly
grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found
on page 2.
14. Install or locate this appliance only in accor-dance with the
provided installation instructions.
15. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -
for example, closed glass jars-are able to explode and should
not be heated in this oven.
16. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in
this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this
appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat,
cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory
use.
17. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when
used by children.
18. 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.
19. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service
personnel.
Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product
near water — for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
15. Either:
a) When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes
together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive
soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth , or
b) When separate cleaning instructions are provided, See
door surface cleaning instructions on.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when
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 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.
17. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive chemicals
(for example, sulfides and chlorides). Vapours from such
corrosive chemicals may interact with the contact and springs
of the safety interlock switches thereby rendering them
inoperable.
18. 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.
19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the
temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.
20. 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:
1 Do not overheat the liquid.
2 Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it
3 Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
4 After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven
for a short time before removing the container.
5 Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
