IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR 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.
– After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
■ Do not operate any heating or cooking appliance
beneath the microwave oven.
■ Do not mount microwave oven over or near any
portion of a heating or cooking appliance.
■ Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should
not be inserted in the 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 use paper products when appliance is
operated in the “PAN BROWN” mode (on models
with this feature).
■ Do not store any materials, other than
manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this
microwave oven when not in use.
■ Do not store anything directly on top of the
microwave oven when the microwave oven is in
operation.
■ Do not cover or block any openings on the
microwave oven.
■ Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not
use the microwave oven near water - for example,
near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or 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.
■ Do not mount over a sink.
■ Do not cover racks or any other part of the
microwave oven with metal foil. This will cause
overheating of the microwave oven.
