WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to
persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
1Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” on page 3.
3 This appliance must be properly grounded. See page 5
for grounding instructions.
4 Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with
the provided Installation Manual.
5 Some products such as whole eggs and sealed contain-
ers - for example, closed glass jars—are able to explode
and should not be heated in the appliance.
6 Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors
in this appliance. This appliance is specifically designed
to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial
or laboratory use.
7 As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
8 Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or
plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been dam-
aged or dropped.
9 This appliance should be serviced only by qualified ser-
vice personnel. Contact nearest Thermador Authorized
Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment.
10 Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11 Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use
this product near water—for example, near a kitchen
sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or similar
locations.
12 Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13 Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14 Do not climb or sit on the appliance.
15 Be sure that fingers or other objects or materials are not
around the appliance opening when the appliance is
closed.
16 Do not put fingers or clothes around the drawer guides
when the appliance is opened or closed. They could be
caught in the guides when the appliance is closed.
17 Be sure that the food and container are shorter than the
drawer before closing it. You can refer to the height of the
side walls of the drawer.
18 When cleaning appliance sealing surfaces that come
together on closing the drawer, use only mild, nonabra-
sive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft
cloth. See cleaning instructions on page 17.
19 To reduce the risk of fire in the appliance cavity:
a Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are
placed inside the appliance to facilitate cooking.
b Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in appliance.
c If materials inside the appliance ignite, keep appliance
door closed, turn microwave off and shut off power at
the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d Do not use the appliance for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the
appliance when not in use.
20 Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be over-
heated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be
boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bub-
bling or boiling when the container is removed from the
appliance 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:
a Do not overheat the liquid.
b Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating
it.
c Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
d After heating, allow the container to stand in the
appliance at least for 20 seconds before removing the
container.
e Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
21 If the appliance light fails, consult a THERMADOR
AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
