Important Safety Instructions
Precautions to avoid possible
exposure to excessive microwave
energy
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open
since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to
microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with
the safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and
the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on seal-
ing surfaces.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that the oven door close properly and that there is
no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (bro-
ken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone
except properly qualified service personnel.

grounded outlet.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the
provided installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers –
for example, closed glass jars – are able to explode and
should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in
the 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.

9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service
personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this prod-
uct near water– for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool or similar locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
15. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
i) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when
paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
ii) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven.
iii) 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.
iv) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when
not in use.

16. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be over-
heated 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.
Warning: Hot liquids could suddenly boil over when the container is dis-
turbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid.
Additional Important Safety Instructions
1. Oversize foods or oversize metal utensils should not be
inserted in a microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk
of electric shock.
2. Do not clean with metal scouring pads.
3. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s rec-
ommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
4. Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance sur-
face when the appliance is in operation.
5. Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able to be over-
heated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be
boiling.
6. Do not use narrow necked containers to boil or reheat
liquids.

7. The liquid may splash out during or after heating or when
adding ingredients (instant coffee, etc) resulting in possible
harm or injury to persons.
8. To reduce the risk of injury, stir the liquid several times
before heating.
9. After heating, allow the container to stand in microwave
oven for at least 40 seconds before removing the container.
10. Do not heat water and oil, or a fat together which may
cause a violent eruption.
Grounding Instructions
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 appli-
ance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
Warning: Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

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.
Caution: Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the
appliance.
Testing Containers and Utensils
Some non-metallic containers and utensils become extremely
hot when used in a microwave oven. To avoid risk of scald-
ing, use the following procedure to determine if a container
or utensil is safe for microwave use:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup (250 ml) of cold
water. Place it in the microwave oven along with the container
or utensil in question.
2. Turn the oven on maximum power for 1 minute. Do not
exceed 1 minute cooking time.
3. Carefully feel the container. If the empty container is warm,
do not use it for microwave cooking.

TABLE 1. Materials You Can Use in a Microwave Oven
Cooking
Accessories
(not included with
Microwave) Remarks
Aluminum foil Shielding only. To prevent overcooking, use small,
smooth pieces to cover the thin areas of meat or
poultry. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to
the oven walls. The foil should be at least 1 inch
away from oven walls.
Dinnerware Microwave-safe only. Follow manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Glass jars Always remove lid. Use only to heat food until just
warm. Most glass jars are not heat resistant and
may break.
Glassware Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there
is no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or chipped
dishes.
Oven cooking
bags
Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Do not close
with metal tie. Make slits to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates Use microwave-safe plates only for short-term cook-
ing/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended
while cooking.
Paper towels Use microwave-safe paper towels only to cover
food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with
supervision for short-term cooking only.
Plastic containers Use microwave-safe containers only. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Containers should be
labeled Microwave-Safe. Some plastic containers
soften as the food inside gets hot. Boiling bags and
tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced, or
vented as directed by package.
Plastic wrap Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during
cooking to retain moisture. Do not allow plastic
wrap to touch food.
Wax paper Use a cover to prevent splattering and to help retain
moisture.

TABLE 2. Materials to Avoid in a Microwave Oven
How Your Microwave Oven Works
The microwave oven has an electronic tube called a magne-
tron that produces microwaves, very short radio waves. The
microwaves then pass through a wave-guide and into the oven
cavity. The microwaves penetrate the food and cause water
molecules within the food to vibrate extremely rapidly. This
vibration causes considerable friction or heat between the
water molecules resulting in a rapid rise in temperature. This
type of heating is very efficient and the cooking time is there-
fore shorter than in a conventional oven. The rate of heating
depends on the moisture content, shape, volume, and amount
of food present. Metallic materials totally reflect microwaves.
Non-metallic materials such as glass, paper, and plastics are
Cooking Accessories
(not included with
Microwave) Remarks
Aluminum pan or tray May cause arcing. Transfer food into micro-
wave-safe dish.
Food carton with metal
handle
May cause arcing. Transfer food into micro-
wave-safe dish.
Metal or metal-trimmed
utensils
Metal shields the food from microwave
energy and may cause arcing.
Metal twist ties May cause arcing and could cause a fire in
the oven.
Plastic foam Plastic foam may melt or contaminate the
liquid inside when exposed to high
temperature.
Wood Wood will dry out and may split. Avoid
using wooden containers or utensils in the
oven.
