OPERATING AND CLEANING
—Aswithanyappliance,closesupervisionisnecessary
when used by children.
—Donotstoreanythingdirectlyontopofthemicrowave
surface when the microwave oven is in operation.
—Oversizedfoodoroversizedmetalcookwareshouldnot
be used in a microwave/convection oven because they
increase the risk of electric shock and could cause a fire.
—Donotcleanwithmetalscouringpads.Piecescanburn
off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of
electric shock.
—Donotusepaperproductsinovenwhenapplianceis
operated in any cooking mode except microwave only.
—Someproductssuchaswholeeggsandsealed
containers—forexample,closedjars—areabletoexplode
and should not be heated in this microwave oven.
—Donotcoverthemicrowaverackoranypartofthe
oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the
microwave/convection oven.
—Cookmeatandpoultrythoroughly—meattoatleastan
INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
—Makesureallcookwareusedinyourmicrowaveovenis
suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking
dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china
dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze
with a metallic sheen can be used.in compliance with
cookware manufacturers’ recommendations.
—Itisimportanttokeeptheareacleanwherethedoor
seals against the microwave. Use only mild, nonabrasive
detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth.
Rinse well.
SUPERHEATED WATER
n Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to be over-
heated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be
boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A
SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
Toreducetheriskofinjurytopersons:
—Donotoverheattheliquid.
—Stirtheliquidbothbeforeandhalfwaythroughheatingit.
—Donotusestraight-sidedcontainerswithnarrownecks.
—Afterheating,allowthecontainertostandinthe
microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
—Useextremecarewheninsertingaspoonorotherutensil

PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients
with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.
nPlugmicrowaveintoagrounded3-prongoutlet.
n Do not remove the ground prong or use an adapter.
n Do not use an extension cord.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
A short power-supply is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over a longer
cord. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If
the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
