IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be 

heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a 

microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough 

for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points 

and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and 

spatter causing possible damage to the oven and 

perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave–safe 

utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of 

the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it 

contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of 

foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or 

heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the 

jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain 

the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly 

canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. 

Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture 

content can dry out, burn or catch on fire. 

Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your 

oven.  

Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. 

If you use a smaller portion than recommended and 

cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could 

result.
Browning dishes: Microwave browning dishes or grills 

are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating 

times vary depending on the size of the browning dish 

and food being cooked. Always follow instructions 

provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. Do 

not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes. 

Oven roasting bags: If an oven bag is used for 

microwave cooking, prepare according to package 

directions. Do not use wire twist–ties to close bags, 

instead use nylon ties, cotton string or a strip cut from 

the open end of the bag. Make six ½" (12.7 mm) slits by 

closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger 

than the food being cooked. 

Cooking Utensils
See also Microwave Utensil Guide
Cooking utensils, the glass tray and racks get hot during 

microwaving. Always use potholders when removing 

items from the oven. Allow the glass tray and the metal 

racks (if used) to cool before handling.
Do not use metal utensils, or dishes with metallic trim in 

the oven.
When using aluminum foil in the oven, allow at least 

1 inch (25 mm) of space between foil and interior oven 

walls or door.
The glass tray and the metal racks (if used) will get hot 

during cooking. The cooking container and the glass tray 

can be hot even if the oven is cool. 
Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials 

that are not intended for cooking. 
When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible 

materials, follow manufacturer’s recommendations on 

product use. Do not use paper towels which contain 

nylon or synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt 

and cause paper to ignite.
Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven. 

Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container 

or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before 

cooking. 

Glass Tray / Turntable Ring
Do not operate the oven without the turntable roller rest 

and the glass tray in place.
Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. 

Improper cooking or damage to the oven could result. 

Verify that the glass tray is properly positioned and 

turning when the oven is in use.
Note:  The glass tray can turn in either direction.
Only use the glass tray designed for this oven. Do not 

substitute any other tray.
Allow the glass tray to cool before cleaning or placing in 

water.
Do not place food directly on the glass tray. Always place 

food in a microwave safe dish.
Always replace the turntable ring and the glass tray in 

their proper positions.
The turntable ring must always be used for cooking 

along with the glass tray.

Exhaust Mode Operation
When the microwave is operated in exhaust mode 

simultaneously with a different burner, care must be 

taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh 

air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.

WARNING

Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning - Provide adequate air 

intake so combustion gases are not drawn back into the 

room.

Thermometers
Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most 

cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause 

electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to the oven.

Pacemakers

CAUTION

To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or 

pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave 

energy on pacemaker.
