Keep the waveguide cover clean at all
times. Wipe the oven interior with a
soft damp cloth after each use. If you
leave grease or fat anywhere in the
cavity it may overheat, smoke or even
catch fire when next using the oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15
When cleaning surfaces of door and
oven that come together when
closing the door, use only mild, non-
abrasive soaps or detergents applied
with a sponge or soft cloth.
14
Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter.
16
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity:
(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully
     attend appliance if paper, plastic or
     other combustible materials are
     placed inside the oven to facilitate
     cooking.
(b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
     plastic bags before placing bag in
     oven.
(c) If materials inside the oven should
     ignite, keep oven door closed, turn
     oven off, and disconnect the power
     cord, or shut off power at the fuse or
     circuit breaker panel.
(d) Do not use the cavity for storage
     purposes. Do not leave paper
     products, cooking utensils or food in
     the cavity when not in use.
Do not use this microwave oven to
heat corrosive chemicals (for
example, sulfides and chlorides).

chemicals may interact with the
contact and springs of the safety
interlock switches thereby rendering
them inoperable.
17
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea
are able to be overheated beyond
the boiling point without appearing to
be boiling due to surface tension of
the liquid. 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:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and
    halfway through heating it.
c) Do not use straight-sided
    containers with narrow necks.
d) After heating, allow the container
    to stand in the microwave oven for
    a short time before removing the
    container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting
    a spoon or other utensil into the
    container.

Never heat oil or fat for deep frying
as     you     cannot     control     the
temperature and doing so may lead
to overheating and fire.
