2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
   1. DOOR (bent)
   2. HINGES and LATCHES (broken or loosened)
   3. DOOR SEALS and SEALING SURFACES
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read all instructions before using the oven.
2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 3.
3. As with any cooking appliance, close supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a fire in the oven cavity or when used by children.
4. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
   • Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
   • Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers/bags before placing them in the oven.
   • If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed. Turn the oven off and unplug the oven or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
   • Do not use the oven cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
5. This oven must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 5.
6. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
7. Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers (for example closed glass jars), are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
8. Use this oven only for its intended purpose, as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this oven. This oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use
9. Do not operate this oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
10. This oven should be serviced only by qualified service technicians. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. 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 SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

   • Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
   • Relocate the oven to the receiver.
   • Move the oven away from the receiver.
   • Plug the oven into a different outlet so that the oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.
