    IMPORTANT SAFET Y INSTRUCTIONS
    (continued)
    Before Operation
    4
    Your microwave oven is a cooking device and you
    should use as much care as you use with a stove or
    any other cooking device. When using this electric
    appliance, basic safety precautions should be
    followed, including the following:
    WARNING
    — To reduce the risk of
    burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or
    exposure to excessive microwave energy:
    1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
    2. Read and follow “PRECAUTIONS TO  AVOID
    POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
    MICROWAVE ENERGY,”found on page 2.
    3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only
    to a properly grounded outlet. See “Grounding
    Instructions”found on page 5.
    4. Install or locate this appliance only in
    accordance with the provided installation
    instructions found on page 5.
    5. Do not cover or block any openings on this
    appliance.
    6. Do not store or use 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, and the like.
    7. 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, or cook
    food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory
    use.8. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that
    come together on closing the door, use only
    mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied
    with a sponge or soft cloth.
    9.DO NOTallow children to use this appliance,
    unless closely supervised by an adult.
    DO NOTassume that because a child has
    mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook
    everything.
    10. 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.
    11. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
    12. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
    13. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
    counter.
    14. This appliance should be serviced only by
    qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest
    authorized service facility for examination, repair
    or adjustment.
    15. Some products such as whole eggs with or
    without shell, narrow neck bottles and sealed
    containers — for example, closed glass jars —
    may explode and should not be heated in this
    oven.
    IMPORTANT SAFET Y INSTRUCTIONS
    16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
    (a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
    appliance if paper, plastic, or other
    combustible 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 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.
    (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.To avoid the possible risk of a burn,the
    appliance must not be used in areas such as
    island-type countertops where the rear surfaces
    would be exposed to user contact and the
    appliance must be placed more than 3 feet 
    (85 cm) above the floor.
    18. 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 UTENSIL IS
    INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the
    risk of injury to persons:
    (a)STIR THE LIQUID BOTH BEFORE AND
    HALFWAY THROUGH  HEATING  IT.
    (b)Do not heat water and oil, or fats together.
    The film of oil will trap steam, and may
    cause a violent eruption.
    (c) Do not use straight-sided containers with
    narrow necks.
    (d) After heating, allow the container to stand in
    the microwave oven for a short time before
    removing the container.
    19.DO NOTcook directly on the turntable. It can
    crack, cause injury or damage to the oven.
    20. Do not clean with metal scouring pads.
    Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical
    parts involving a risk of electric shock.
    General Use1.
    DO NOTtamper with or make any adjustments or
    repairs to the door, control panel housing, safety
    interlock switches or any other part of the oven.DO NOTremove outer panel from oven. Repairs
    should only be done by qualified service person.
    2.DO NOT use the microwave function when the
    oven is empty. The microwave energy will reflect
    continuously throughout the oven, if food or
    water is not present to absorb energy. This could
    damage the oven and result in the danger of a
    fire.
    3.DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or
    other non-food products.DO NOT clean this
    oven with any product that is labeled as
    containing corrosive chemicals.The heating of
    corrosive chemicals in this oven can cause
    radiation leaks.
    4.DO NOTdry clothes, newspapers or other
    materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.
    5.DO NOTuse recycled paper products unless the
    paper product is labeled as safe for microwave
    oven use. Recycled paper products may contain
    impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires
    when used.
    6.DO NOTuse newspapers or paper bags for
    cooking. Fire can result.
    7.DO NOThit or strike the control panel. Damage
    to the controls may occur. Fire can result.
    8.DO NOTstore flammable materials next to, on
    top of, or in the oven. These could be fire
    hazards.
    9.POT HOLDERSmay be needed when handling
    dishes. Heat is transferred from the hot food to
    the cooking container and from the cooking
    container to Glass Tray. Glass Tray can be very
    hot after removing cooking container from oven.
    10. Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils
    should not be inserted in a microwave oven as
    that may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
    11. Before using the BAKE, COMBINATIONor
    BROILfunctions for the first time, operate the
    oven without food on BROIL for 20 minutes. This
    will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to
    be burned off.
    12. Door and exterior will get hot during BAKE,
    COMBINATIONand BROIL. Please handle door
    carefully.
    13. Use extreme caution when removing oven

    5) CERAMIC TRAY / COOKING UTENSILS / FOILCooking utensils get hot during cooking. Use
    potholders when removing utensils and Glass
    Tray from the oven or when removing lids or
    plastic wrap covers from cooking utensils to
    avoid burns.Ceramic Tray will get hot during cooking. It
    should be allowed to cool before handling or
    before paper products, such as paper plates,
    napkins or microwave popcorn bags, are placed
    in the oven for microwave cooking.During cooking, heat is transferred from the hot
    food to the cooking utensil and from the utensil
    to Ceramic Tray. Ceramic Tray can be very hot
    after removing cooking utensils from oven.When using foil, skewers, warming rack or
    utensils made of metal in the oven, allow at least
    1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between metal material
    and interior oven walls. If arcing occurs
    (sparking) remove metal material (skewers etc.)
    and/or transfer to a non-metallic container.Dishes with metallic trim should not be used
    during Microwave or Combinationcooking,
    arcing may occur.
    6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHSDo not use paper towels or cloths which contain
    a synthetic fiber woven into them. The synthetic
    fiber may cause the towel to ignite.Do not use paper bags or recycled paper
    products in the microwave oven.

    follow instructions provided by the browning dish
    or grill manufacturer. Do not preheat browning
    dish more than 8 minutes.If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave
    cooking, prepare according to package
    directions. Do not use wire twist-tie to close bag.
    Instead use nylon tie, a piece of cotton string or
    a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make
    six 
    1/2-inch slits by closure. Place oven cooking
    bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being
    cooked.8) THERMOMETERS
    Do not use a conventional meat thermometer for
    Microwave or Combination cooking. Arcing may
    occur. Do not use a microwave meat
    thermometer for Combination cooking or Bake. It
    may melt.
