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 5.

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

“IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 4.

4) Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

5) 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.

6) Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7) As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

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 table or counter.

15) When cleaning surfaces between the door and the oven that come together upon closing, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

16) 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.

Important 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 use of 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 and either:

1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance, or

2. Do no use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
