3 M icr owave Oven Safety IMPOR T ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: W ARNING: T o reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy: • Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
4 M icr owave Oven Safety PRECAUTIONS TO A VOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWA VE ENERGY ... (a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy . It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
5 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS For all cord connected appliances: The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a ground- ing wire with a grounding plug.
How your micr owave oven works Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks the food. Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves or light waves. Y ou cannot see them, but you can see what they do.
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.
