such as a gas stove, electric range or sink
etc.

General Instructions

General Use

1. For microwave cooking, only use utensils that are
suitable for use in microwave ovens.
2. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate
the oven when empty. The microwave energy will
reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food
or water is present to absorb energy.
3. If smoke is observed, press the STOP/RESET
Pad and leave the door closed in order to stifle
any flames. Disconnect the power cord, or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
4. Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials
in oven. They may catch on fire.
5. Do not use recycled paper products unless the
paper product is labeled as safe for microwave
oven use. Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires
when used.
6. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for
cooking.
7. Do not hit or strike control panel. Damage to
controls may occur.
8. POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from
food is transferred to the cooking container and
from the container to the Ceramic Tray. The
Ceramic Tray can be very hot after removing the
cooking container from the oven.
9. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top
of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
10. Do not cook food directly on Ceramic Tray unless
indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed in a
suitable cooking utensil.)
11. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other
non-food products. DO NOT clean this oven with
any product that is labeled as containing
corrosive chemicals. The heating of corrosive
chemicals in this oven may cause microwave
radiation leaks.
12. When using the COMBINATION mode, never
place any aluminum or metal container directly on
the Low Rack.
Always insert a heat-proof, glass plate or dish
between the Low Rack and the aluminum
container. This will prevent sparking that may
damage the oven.
13. It is recommended not to use the Low/High Rack
when cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only.
14. If Ceramic Tray is hot, allow to cool before
cleaning or placing in water.
15. Look at the oven from time to time when food
is heated or cooked in disposal containers of
plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as
these types of containers ignite if overheated.
