IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
6
Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other 
materials in the oven. Do not use newspapers or 
paper bags for cooking. Fire could result.
Do not use recycled paper products unless 
labeled safe for microwave use. They may 
contain impurities which may cause sparks and 
result in fires when used.
Always use potholders when removing items from 
the oven. The cooking container and the glass 
tray can be hot even if the oven is cool. 
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation 
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not 
reach through fire to turn it off.
Do not mount over sink.
Do not store anything directly on top of the 
appliance surface when the appliance is in 
operation.
Oversized food or oversized metal utensils 
should not be inserted in a 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 store any materials, other than 
manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in 
this oven when not in use.
Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven 
with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the 
oven.
In Case of Fire
If materials inside an oven should ignite:
1.
Keep door closed 
2.
Turn appliance off
3.
Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit 
breaker
Liquids
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be 
overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point 
without appearing to boil. For example, 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 
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.
Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other 
utensil into the container.
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.
Cooking Items
Eggs: Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without 
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to 
explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. 
Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking 
scrambled eggs is safe.
Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and 
labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven 
corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions 
and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven. 
Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. 
Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven 
unattended..
CAUTION
When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check 
package weight before using the popcorn function. Set 
the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these 
instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop 
adequately or may ignite and cause fire.
Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet 
potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are 
examples of foods with nonporous skins, These types of 
foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them 
from exploding.
Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or 
food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of  
food may appear warm while the interior can burn the 
infant’s mouth and esophagus.
Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be 
heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a 
microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough 
for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points 
and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and 
spatter causing possible damage to the oven and 
perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave–safe 
utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of 
the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it 
contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of 
foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or 
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the 
jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain 
the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly 
canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. 
Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture
