IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific: "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

MICROWAVE ENERGY" found on page 2.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING

Product No: 043-7002-2 (EM9P022PR) | Contact us 1-855-803-9313

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

(1) Do not overcook food. Carefully watch appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are

placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

(2) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

(3) If materials inside of the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord

or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

(4) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the

cavity when not in use.

17. 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 LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED

OR A 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.

(4) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

(5) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

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 that has a 3-blade grounded plug, and 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.

The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

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 grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a long cord 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 longer 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.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, T V or similar equipment.

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

1) Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.

2) Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.

3) Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.

4) Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

5) Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch

circuits.

UTENSIL/CONTAINER USE

CAUTION - Personal Injury Hazard

Tightly-closed utensils/containers could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced before cooking.

See page 6 for lists of microwave-safe/non-microwave-safe materials.

There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, test the utensil in question.

Utensil/Container Test:

1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250 mL) 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.
