content can dry out, burn or catch on fire. 

Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your 

oven.  

Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. 

If you use a smaller portion than recommended and 

cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could 

result.
Browning dishes:. Microwave browning dishes or grills 

are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating 

times vary depending on the size of the browning dish 

and food being cooked. Always follow instructions 

provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. Do 

not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes. 

Oven roasting bags: If an oven bag is used for 

microwave cooking, prepare according to package 

directions. Do not use wire twist–ties to close bags, 

instead use nylon ties, cotton string or a strip cut from 

the open end of the bag. Make six ½" (12.7 mm) slits by 

closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger 

than the food being cooked. 

See also Microwave Utensil Guide. 
Cooking utensils, the ceramic tray and racks get hot 

during microwaving. Always use potholders when 

removing items from the oven. Allow the ceramic tray 

and the metal racks (if used) to cool before handling.
Do not use metal utensils, or dishes with metallic trim in 

the oven.
When using aluminum foil in the oven, allow at least 1" 

(25.4 mm) of space between foil and interior oven walls 

or door.
The ceramic tray and the metal racks (if used) will get hot 

during cooking. The cooking container and the ceramic 

tray can be hot even if the oven is cool. 
Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials 

that are not intended for cooking. 
When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible 

materials, follow manufacturer’s recommendations on 

product use. Do not use paper towels which contain 

nylon or synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt 

and cause paper to ignite
Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven. 

Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container 

or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before 

cooking. 

Do not operate the oven without the metal tray turntable 

in place.
Verify that the metal tray turntable is properly positioned 

and turning when the oven is in use. Improper cooking or 

damage to the oven could result. 
Only use the metal tray turntable designed for this oven. 

Do not substitute any other tray.
Always replace the metal tray in its proper position.

When the microwave is operated in exhaust mode 

simultaneously with a different burner, care must be 

taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh 

air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.

Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning - Provide adequate air 

intake so combustion gases are not drawn back into the 

room.

Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most 

cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause 

electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to the oven.

To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or 

pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave 

energy on pacemaker.

This product contains chemicals known to the State of 

California to cause cancer, birth defects or other 

reproductive harm.

After using the oven the fan motor can rotate to cool the 

electric components. This is perfectly normal, and you 

can take out the food from the oven while the fan 

operates.
