- Clean oven regularly and remove any food deposits.
Heating Foods and Liquids
- Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
- Do not overheat the liquid.
- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
- After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave for a short time before removing it.
- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
- Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and be hazardous to handle.
- Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with anunbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or knife before cooking.
- Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
- 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 heating.
- Do not heat baby bottles in oven.
- Baby food jars shall be open when heated and contents stirred or shaken before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
- Never use oven to heat alcohol or food containing alcohol as it can more easily catch fire if overheated.
Additional Microwave Oven Safety Instructions

WARNING: To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered.
Grounding/Earthing Instructions
The oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current, if an electrical short occurs. This oven is equipped with a cord having a ground wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three- slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate circuit with the electrical rating as provided in product specifications (available on ACP’s website at www.acpsolutions.com). When a microwave oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.
External Equipotential Earthing Terminal (export only)
Equipment has secondary earthing terminal. Terminal provides external earthing connection used in addition to earthing prong on plug. Located on outside of oven back, terminal is marked with symbol shown below.
