13. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

14. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

15. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

16. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

17. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven interior:

a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.

18. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea can be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the micro- wave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

19. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

a. Do not overheat the liquid.

b. Stir the liquid both before and half- way through heating it.

c. Do not use straight-sided contain- ers with narrow necks. Use a wide mouth container.

d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for at least 20 seconds before remov- ing the container.

e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container. This may also cause delayed eruptive boiling.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY 1. Do not attempt to operate this oven

with the door open as this can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to break or tamper with the safety interlocks.

2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the door (for example, make sure that it is not bent); hinges and latches (for example, make sure that they are not broken or loosened); door seals and sealing surface.

4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

If the microwave unit is not kept clean, its surface could be degraded and lead to a hazardous situation.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS DANGER - Electric Shock Hazard Touching some of the internal compo- nents can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.

WARNING - Electric Shock Hazard Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.

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 with a grounding wire and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or service- man if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire exten- sion cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.

1. A short power-supply cord is provid- ed to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or an extension cord should not be used unless the following precautions are followed (see 3, below).

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should

4 5

be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

INTRODUCTION This is not your ordinary microwave oven. It has more inside and out. Inside its solid, nonporous, easy-to-sanitize stain- less steel. Outside youll find 25 prepro- grammed control options. It performs all the standard reheating and defrosting microwave tasks with ease, setting time and temperature for specific items. But it is also large enough, and smart enough, to let you cook from scratch. Check out the recipes for cooking fish and rice, steaming vegetables, or roasting garlic. And dont miss the 2, 4 and 6 slice bacon buttons. Cook healthier, cook faster, cook easier with the Cuisinart stainless steel microwave.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave oven energy when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

1. The oven must be placed on a level surface.

2. The glass turntable and turntable assembly must be in the oven during cooking. Handle the glass turntable carefully and place cookware on it gently to avoid possible breakage.

3. Incorrect use of browning dish may cause the turntable to break. See Materials you can use in a micro- wave oven, page 6.

4. Use only the correctly specified bag size when using the preset popcorn program.

5. The oven has several built-in safety switches to ensure that the power remains off when the door is open. Do not tamper with these switches.

6. Do not operate the microwave oven empty. Operating the oven with no food or food that is extremely low in moisture can cause fire, charring or sparking.

7. Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable. Excessive local heating of the turntable may cause the turntable to break.

8. Do not heat baby bottles or baby food in the microwave oven. Uneven heating/hotspots may occur and could cause injury.

9. Do not heat narrow-necked contain- ers, such as syrup bottles.

10. Do not attempt to deep-fry in your microwave oven.

11. Do not attempt home canning in this microwave oven, as it is impossible to be sure all contents of the jar have reached boiling temperature.

12. Do not use this microwave oven for commercial purpose. This microwave oven is made for household use only.

13. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of hot liquids and beverages or scalding yourself, stir liquid before placing the container in the oven and again half- way through cooking time. Let it stand in the oven for a short time and stir again before removing the con- tainer.

14. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

15. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

16. When cleaning door and oven surfac- es use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

17. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can heat beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. This is called delayed eruptive boiling. When the container is removed from the oven, there is a danger that very hot liquids could suddenly boiling over when the container is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid.

CONTAINERS CAUTION: Personal Injury Hazard Tightly-closed containers could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced before cooking.

See the charts on pages 6 and 7 of mate- rials you can use in microwave oven or to avoid using in your microwave oven. There may be certain non-metallic materials that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the material/con- tainer in question following the procedure below.

Material/Container Test:

1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the material or container in question.

2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.

3. Carefully feel the material or contain- er. If it is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.

4. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.
