Important Safety Instructions What you need to know about safety instructions Warning and Important Instructions appearing in this guide are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining or operating a microwave. Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.
Important Safety Instructions • Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawer of this appliance can result in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the appliance. Do not allow children to climb or play around the appliance. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the appliance to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury. An open drawer, when hot, may cause burns. • Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if equipped) for storage.
Important Safety Instructions IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP • Use proper flame size—Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency. • Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates of sealed gas burners.
Important Safety Instructions • • • Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover your broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped) grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite. Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing light bulb.
