9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury. ▯ Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking. Fire could result. ▯ Do not use recycled paper products unless labeled safe for microwave use. They may contain impurities which may cause sparks and result in fires when used. ▯ Always use potholders when removing items from the oven. The cooking container and the glass tray can be hot even if the oven is cool. ▯ Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off. ▯ Do not mount over sink. ▯ Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance surface when the appliance is in operation. ▯ Oversized food or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in a microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock. ▯ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock. ▯ Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use. ▯ Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven. In Case of Fire If materials inside an oven should ignite: 1. Keep door closed 2. Turn appliance off 3. Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit breaker Liquids Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point without appearing to boil. For example, 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 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. ▯ Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container. ▯ 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. Cooking Items Eggs: Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking scrambled eggs is safe. Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers' directions and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.. CAUTION When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check package weight before using the popcorn function. Set the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause fire. Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins, These types of foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them from exploding. Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of food may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant's mouth and esophagus. Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave-safe utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip. Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly 6
