appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific: "PRECAU-
TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY"
found on page 2.
3. As with most cooking appliances, close
supervision is necessary to reduce the risk
of a fire in the oven cavity.
4.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity:
i). Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
the appliance when paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
ii).Remove wire twist-ties and metal
handles from paper or plastic
containers/bags before placing them in
the oven.
iii). If materials inside the oven ignite,
keep the oven door closed. Turn the
oven off, and unplug the appliance.
Disconnect the power cord, shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
iv). Do not use the oven cavity for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.
5. This oven must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See
"GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" found
on page 4.
6. Install or locate this oven only in
accordance with the installation
instructions provided.
7. Some products such as whole eggs
and sealed containers-for example,
closed glass jars-are able to explode
and should not be heated in the oven.
8. Use this appliance only for its intended
uses as described in this manual. Do
not use corrosive chemicals or vapors
in this appliance. This oven is
specifically designed to heat or cook
or dry food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use.
9. As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when used
by children.
10. Do not operate this oven if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
11. This appliance should be serviced only
by qualified service technicians.
Contact the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair or
adjustment.
12. Do not cover or block any openings on
the oven.
13. Do not store or use this appliance
outdoors.
14. Do not use this oven near water, for
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet

i) Do not overheat the liquid.
ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
iii) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
iv) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time
before removing the container.
v) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
19. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated 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.
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
cord having 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 serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
