DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard. Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord.
1) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 2) If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. 2) The extension cord must be a grounding type 3-wire cord. 3) The long cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
CAUTION
Personal Injury Hazard
It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
Disposal
- When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
- The European Directive 2012/19/EEC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers may take their old appliance to public waste collection areas, other communal collection areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a retailer when purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance manufacturers are active in the creation of systems to manage the collection and disposal of old appliances.
See the instructions on “Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in microwave oven.”
There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the utensil in question following the procedure below.
Utensil Test:
1) Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the utensil in question. 2) Cook on maximum power for 1 minute. 3) Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking. 4) Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.
Materials you can use in microwave oven
| Utensils | Remarks |
| Aluminum foil | Shielding only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven walls. The foil should be at least 1 inch (2.5cm) away from oven walls. |
| Browning dish | Follow manufacturer's instructions. The bottom of browning dish must be at least 3/16 inch (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break. |
| Dinnerware | Microwave-safe only. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes. |
| Glass jars | Always remove lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass jars are not heat resistant and may break. |
| Glassware | Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes. |
| Oven cooking bags | Follow manufacturer's instructions. Do not close with metal tie. Make slits to allow steam to escape. |
| Paper plates and cups | Use for short-term cooking/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended while cooking. |
| Paper towels | Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for a short-term cooking only. |
| Parchment paper | Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming. |
| Plastic | Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Should be labeled “Microwave Safe”. Some plastic containers soften, as the food inside gets hot. “Boiling bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. |
| Plastic wrap | Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food. |
| Thermometers | Microwave-safe only (meat and candy thermometers). |
| Wax paper | Use as a cover to prevent splattering and retain moisture. |
Materials to be avoided in microwave oven
| Utensils | Remarks |
| Aluminum tray | May cause arcing. Transfer food into microwave-safe dish. |
| Food carton with metal handle | May cause arcing. Transfer food into microwave-safe dish. |
| Metal or metal-trim-med utensils | Metal shields the food from microwave energy. Metal trim may cause arcing. |
| Metal twist ties | May cause arcing and could cause a fire in the oven. |
| Paper bags | May cause a fire in the oven. |
| Plastic foam | Plastic foam may melt or contaminate the liquid inside when exposed to high temperature. |
| Wood | Wood will dry out when used in the microwave oven and may split or crack. |
Cleaning
Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply.
1) Clean the inside of the oven after using with a slightly damp cloth. 2) Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water. 3) The door frame and seal and neighboring parts must be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth when they are dirty. 4. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass. 5. Cleaning Tip---For easier cleaning of the cavity walls that the food cooked can touch: Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% microwave power for 10 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.
