Microwave Safety Precautions  
General Oven and Microwave Safety Instructions  
Your microwave oven is a cooking device and you should use as much care as you use with a stove or any other cooking  
device. When using this electric appliance, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:  
!
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or  
exposure to excessive microwave energy, observe the following:  
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
General Microwave Use  
2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a  
properly grounded outlet. See “Grounding Instruc-  
tions” found in Installation Instructions.  
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with  
the installation instructions.  
5. Do not cover or block any openings on this appliance.  
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described  
in this manual. DO NOT use corrosive chemicals,  
vapors, or nonfood products; in this appliance. This  
type of oven is specifically designed to heat or cook. It  
is not designed for industrial or laboratory use. The use  
of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will dam-  
age the appliance and may result in radiation leaks.  
7. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come  
togetheronclosingthedoor,useonlymild,nonabrasive  
soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.  
2. DO NOT OPERATE  
AN EMPTY OVEN.  
The microwave energy  
will reflect continuously  
throughout the oven  
causing overheating, if  
food or water is not  
present to absorb energy. This could damage the oven  
and result in a risk of fire.  
8. Do not allow children to use this appliance, unless  
closely supervised by an adult.  
3. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials  
in oven, or use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.

level and cooking time for the amount of food in the oven. Smaller portions of food that are cooked too long may catch  
fire. Always have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy. When using the oven

cooking. Covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Do not block oven vents. This oven  
is rated for 1100 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. When preparing foods, check food 1-2 minutes before the  
minimum time and add time accordingly.
