IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Use of Microwave Upper Oven

Microwave ovens have been used successfully in homes for

a number of years. They are thoroughly tested for safe and

efficient operation. However, as with any appliance, there are

special installation and safety precautions which must be

followed to ensure safe and satisfactory operation and pre-

vent damage to the unit.

Read all instructions before

using appliance.

2. Read and follow the

specific “PRECAUTIONS TO

AVOID POSSIBLEEXPOSURETO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE EN-

ERGY found on page 4.

3. This appliance must be

installed and properly

grounded in accordance with

the separately provided “ln-

stailation Instructions:’

4. Some products such as

whole eggs and sealed con-

tainers - for example, closed

glass jars - may explode and

should not be heated in this

oven.

5. Use this appliance only for

its intended use as described

in this manual.

6. As with any appliance,

close supervision is necessary

when used by children.

7. Do not operate this

appliance if it has a

damaged cord or plug, if it is

not working properly, or ifit has

been damaged or dropped.

Electric shock, fire or other haz-

ards may result.

This appliance should be

12. Toreduce the risk of fire in

the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook food.

Carefully attend appliance if

paper, plastic, or other com-

bustible materials are placed

inside the oven to facilitate

cooking. Paper can char or

burn, and some plastics can

melt if used when heating

foods.

b. Test dinnerware or cook-

ware before using. See page

40. Some dishes (melamine,

Centura,@ etc.) absorb micro-

wave energy, becoming too

hot to handle and slowing

cooking times. Remove wire

twist-ties from paper or plastic

bags before placing bag in

oven. Cooking in metal con-

tainers can damage the oven,

Socan containers with hidden

metal (twist-ties, foil lining, sta-

ples, metallic glaze or trim.)

c. If materials inside the oven

should ignite, keep oven door

closed, turn oven off, and dis-

connect the power cord, or

shut off power at the fuse or cir-

cuit breaker panel.

ING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS”

starting on page 39.
