Safety 3 Important Safety Instructions When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed to reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy: • READ ALL instructions before using the appliance. • Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page 4. • This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "Grounding Instructions" on page 5. • Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions. • Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed jars - are able to explode and SHOULD NOT be HEATED in this oven. • 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, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use. • As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children or INFIRM PERSONS. • 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. • This appliance, including power cord, must be serviced ONLY by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest Electrolux Authorized Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment. • DO NOT cover or block any vents or openings on the oven. • 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, near a swimming pool, or similar locations. • DO NOT immerse cord or plug in water. • Keep cord AWAY from HEATED surfaces. • DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter. • Review the door cleaning instructions on page 24. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: • Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. • Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven. • If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. • Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use. 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 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. Use a wide-mouthed container. • After heating, allow the container to stand in the Microwave Oven at least for 20 seconds before removing the container. • Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container. If the oven light fails, consult a Electrolux Authorized Servicer. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS E
