cannot control the temperature and doing
so may lead to overheating and fire.

able to be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing lo be boiling due
to surface tension of the Iiquid. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN
VERY HOT LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of Injury to persons:

very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or
abrasives is not recommended.
3. The outside oven surface should be cleaned
with soap and water, rinsed and dried
with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to
the operating parts inside the oven, water
should not be allowed to seep into the
ventilation openings.

a soft cloth. This may occur when the
microwave oven is operated under high
humidity conditions and in no way indicates
malfunction of the unit.
