                                                                               3



F0003CB00AP_04.indd 3                                                                                                                           2018/12/7 18:10:01


                           IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

   9.     When cleaning surfaces of the door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or
          detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
   10. DO NOT allow children to use this appliance, unless closely supervised by an adult. DO NOT assume that because a child has
       mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
   11. DO NOT operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
   12. DO NOT immerse cord or plug in water.
   13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
   14. DO NOT let cord hang over edge of a table or counter.
   15. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service center for examination,
       repair or adjustment.
   16. Some products such as whole eggs, with or without shell, narrow neck bottles and sealed containers (for example, closed glass jars)
       may explode and should not be heated in this oven.
   17. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
          (a) DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when 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 material inside the oven ignites, 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.
   18. Superheated Liquids: Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without showing
       evidence (or signs) of boiling. Visible bubbling is not always present when the container is removed from the microwave oven. 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:
          (a) STIR THE LIQUID BOTH BEFORE AND HALFWAY THROUGH HEATING.
          (b) DO NOT heat water and oil, or fats together. The film of oil will trap steam, and may cause a violent eruption.
          (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.
   19. DO NOT cook directly on the turntable. It can crack, and cause injury or damage to the oven.
   20. For the oven designed for installation into a wall cabinet:
          (a) DO NOT operate any heating or cooking appliance beneath this appliance.
          (b) DO NOT mount unit over or near any portion of a heating or cooking appliance.
          (c) DO NOT mount over a sink.
          (d) DO NOT store anything directly on the top of the appliance surface when the appliance is in operation.
   21. Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be used in a microwave/griller oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric
       shock.
   22. DO NOT clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
   23. DO NOT use paper products when appliance is operated in the grill mode.
   24. DO NOT store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories in this oven when not in use.
   25. DO NOT cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

   CONTAINER TEST
   TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE OVEN USE: Fill a microwave safe cup with cool water and place it in
   the microwave oven along side the empty container to be tested; heat one (1) minute at P10 (HIGH). If the container is
   microwave oven safe (transparent to microwave energy), the empty container should remain comfortably cool and the
   water should be hot. If the container is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy and should NOT be used. This test
   cannot be used for plastic containers.

   Starting Temperature
   Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than                  Cooking Time
   if they are chilled, refrigerated or frozen.                                    Cooking times will vary because of food shape variations, starting

                                             Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven
    Please see below and the following page for
    particular cleaning instructions for each section of
    the oven.                                                                                                               
    BEFORE CLEANING: Unplug oven at wall outlet. If outlet
    is inaccessible, leave oven door open while cleaning.
    AFTER CLEANING: Be sure to place the Roller Ring and
    the Glass Tray in the proper position and press Stop/
    Reset Button to clear the Display.
    1. Outside oven surfaces: Clean with a damp cloth.
         To prevent damage to the operating parts inside                                                                                     
         the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into
         ventilation openings.
    2. Label: Do not remove. Wipe with a damp cloth.
    3. Inside the Oven: Wipe with a damp cloth after
         using. Mild detergent may be used if needed. Do not
         use harsh detergents or abrasives.
    4. Oven Door: Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam
         accumulates inside or around the outside of the                                                              
         oven door. During cooking, especially under high
         humidity conditions, steam is given off from the
         food. (Some steam will condense on cooler surfaces, such as the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is covered with a heat and
         vapor barrier film. Do not remove.
    5. Oven Cavity Floor: Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window cleaner, and dry.
    6. Wave Guide Cover: Do not remove Wave Guide Cover. It is important to keep cover clean in the same manner as the inside of the
         oven.
    7. Control Panel: The Control Panel is covered with a removable protective film to prevent scratches during shipping. Small bubbles
         may appear under this film, so if this is the case, remove by applying masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently. If
         the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
    8. Glass Tray: Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
    9. Roller Ring: Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise.


                         IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE
                                  RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES,
                                         INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY.


    NOTES:
    1.    After cooking, the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. If the oven is not cleaned occasionally to
          eliminate grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven to “Smoke” during use.
    2.    DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.
          A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
