9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE 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 canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on fire. Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result. Browning dishes: Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating times vary depending on the size of the browning dish and food being cooked. Always follow instructions provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. Do not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes. Oven roasting bags: If an oven bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. Do not use wire twist-ties to close bags, instead use nylon ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six ½" (12.7 mm) slits by closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being cooked. Cooking Utensils See also Microwave Utensil Guide. Cooking utensils, the ceramic tray and racks get hot during microwaving. Always use potholders when removing items from the oven. Allow the ceramic tray and the metal racks (if used) to cool before handling. Do not use metal utensils, or dishes with metallic trim in the oven. When using aluminum foil in the oven, allow at least 1" (25.4 mm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door. The ceramic tray and the metal racks (if used) will get hot during cooking. The cooking container and the ceramic tray can be hot even if the oven is cool. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on product use. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite. Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before cooking. Metal Tray Turntable Do not operate the oven without the metal tray turntable in place. Verify that the metal tray turntable is properly positioned and turning when the oven is in use. Improper cooking or damage to the oven could result. Only use the metal tray turntable designed for this oven. Do not substitute any other tray. Always replace the metal tray in its proper position. Thermometers Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to the oven. Pacemakers CAUTION To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave energy on pacemaker. State of California Proposition 65 Warnings WARNING This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Fan Motor Operation After using the oven the fan motor can rotate to cool the electric components. This is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates.
