IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To avoid risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend oven
when paper, plastic, or other combustible mate-
rials 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 ignite, keep oven
door CLOSED, turn oven off and disconnect the
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or cir-
cuit breaker panel.
d. DO NOT use the cavity for storage. DO NOT
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food
in the cavity when not in use.
WARNING
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appear-
ing 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 LIQ-
UIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A
SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
1. Do not overheat the liquid.
2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
3. Do not use straight-sided containers with nar-
row necks.
4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before remov-
ing the container.
5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
1. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat
and be hazardous to handle.
2. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an
unbroken yolk using microwave energy.
Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk
with fork or knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar
foods before cooking with microwave energy.
When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4. Do not operate oven without load or food in
oven cavity.
5. Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies
depending on oven wattage. Do not continue to
heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will
scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.
6. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in
oven. Most cooking thermometers contain mer-
cury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunc-
tion, or damage to oven.
7. Do not use metal utensils in oven.
8. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials that are not intended for cooking.
9. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other com-
bustible materials, follow manufacturer's recom-
mendations on product use.
10. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or
other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could
melt and cause paper to ignite.
11. 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.
12. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physi-
cian or pacemaker manufacturer about effects
of microwave energy on pacemaker.
