SAFETY  
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE  
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY ...  
• Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open, since open-door operation can result  
in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety  
interlock.  
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close  
properly and that there is no damage to the:  
– door (bent)  
– hinges and latches (broken or loosened)  
– door seals and sealing surfaces.  
• Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner  
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.  
• The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service  
personnel.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance must be grounded! If an electrical short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock  
by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding  
wire with a grounding plug.  
Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.  
WARNING  
If you use the grounding plug improperly, you risk electric shock.  
Ask a qualified electrician or the Service Department if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you  
wonder whether the appliance is properly grounded.  
This appliance has a short power supply cord to reduce the risk of anyone’s tripping over or becoming entangled  
in the cord. You may use an extension cord if you are careful.  
If you use an extension cord, be sure that:  
• The extension cord has the same electrical rating as  
the appliance.  
• The marked rating of the extension cord shall be  
equal to or greater than the electrical rating of  
the appliance.  
• The extension cord is a grounding-type 3-wire cord.  
• The extension cord does not drape over a  
countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on  
by children or tripped over accidentally.  
• The electrical cord is dry and not pinched or  
crushed in any way.  
NOTE: This oven draws 11.5 amperes at 120 Volts, 60 Hz.

SAFETY - MICROWAVE  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
The safety instructions below will tell you how to use your oven to avoid harm to yourself or damage to your  
oven.  
WARNING -  
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to  
excessive microwave energy:  
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
2. Read and follow the specific PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE  
MICROWAVE ENERGY found on page 3 of this manual.  
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet.  
See GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS found on page 3 of this manual .  
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.  
5. Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars are able to  
explode and should not be heated in this oven.  
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals  
or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven 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  
damaged or dropped.  
9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service  
facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.  
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.  
11. Do not store 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 location.  
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.  
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.  
14. Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.  
15. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive  
soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.  
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:  
a. Do not over cook 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.  
17. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to  
be boiling. 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 THE CON-  
TAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce  
the risk of injury to persons; 1) Do not overheat the liquid. 2) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through  
heating it. 3) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. 4) After heating, allow the container to  
stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container. 5) Use extreme care when  
inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.  
18. Avoid heating small-necked containers such as syrup bottles.  
19. Avoid using corrosive and vapors, such as sulfide and chloride.  
20. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheat-  
ed. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (instant  
coffee, etc.), resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. In all containers, for best results, stir the liquid  
several times before heating. Always stir liquid several times between reheatings.

INSTALLATION  
A. Circuits  
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 20  
Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting cir-  
cuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a  
licensed electrician.  
NOTES:  
Never place the turntable in the oven upside down.  
D. Do not block the air vents  
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air  
vents are covered during oven operation the oven may  
overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device  
automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be  
inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.  
B. Voltage Warning  
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the  
same as specified on the oven name plate located on  
the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven.  
Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a  
fire or other type of accident causing oven damage. Low E. Radio interference  
voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your microwave  
oven does not perform normally in spite of proper volt-  
age, remove and reinsert the plug.  
1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV  
or radio reception.  
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or elim-  
inated by taking the following measures:  
a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the  
oven.  
b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or TV.  
c. Relocate the microwave oven in relation to the  
TV or radio.  
d. Move the microwave oven away from the  
receiver.  
C. Placement of the Oven  
Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your  
kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home.  
Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen coun-  
tertop or a specially designed microwave oven cart at  
least 100cm (39.4 inches) from floor. Do not place oven  
above a gas range. Free air flow around the oven is  
important. Allow at least 4 inches  
e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet  
so that microwave oven and receiver are on  
different branch circuits.
