PRECAUTIONS
TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a)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 interlocks. Under normal conditions, the oven will not operate with the door open.
(b)Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c)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 :
(1)door (bent)
(2)hinges and latches (broken or loose)
(3)door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d)The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel. (See page 2.)
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your microwave oven is a cooking device and you should use as much care as you use with a stove or any other cooking device.
When using this electric appliance, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
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 “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY,” above on this page.
3.This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See “Grounding Instructions” found on page 4.
4.Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions found on page 4.
5.Do not cover or block any openings on this appliance.
6.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, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
7.Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, or cook food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
8.When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
9.As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
10.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.
11.Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
12.Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
13.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
14.This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
15.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers (for example, closed glass jars) may explode and should not be heated in this oven.
16.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
(a)Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if 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 should 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 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:
(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.
(d)After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
(e)Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For proper use of your oven read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions.

Installation and GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Placement of the Oven
Locate the oven on a smooth, flat and stable There should be no gap between the table the bottom of the oven. Do not place the oven or damp area, ie. near a stove, sink or directly
heat lamps on a serving line. Free airflow around oven is important. There is a possibility of a amount of interference with weak broadcast
the microwave oven is too close to a radio or
Grounding Instructions
This oven must be electrically grounded. In the an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. The appliance is equipped with having a grounding wire with a grounding plug plug must be plugged into an outlet that is installed and grounded.
WARNING improper use of the grounding result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person grounding instructions are not completely
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly connected.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply is too short, have a qualified electrician or
install an outlet near the appliance.
Removal of Protective Film
A blue protective film is used to prevent scratching the outer case during transportation. Peel the
the exterior of the oven before installation or
appliance should share the circuit with the oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse
and either cause the oven to produce output or blow the fuse.
ovens are built to operate on 2 voltages (220-240 V or 208 V). Be sure voltage selector connector (on the back of

Caution
1.Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Do NOT remove the outer panel of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service person.
2.Do NOT operate the oven empty.
The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy, this could damage the oven and result in the danger of a fire.
3.If a fire occurs in the oven, press the Stop/Clear time Pad and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
4.Do NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven, as they may catch on fire.
5.Do NOT use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires.
6.Do NOT use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.
7.Do NOT hit or strike the control panel. Damage to controls may occur.
8.POT HOLDERS may be needed when removing food from the oven. Heat is transferred from the hot food to the container.
9.Do NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It is a fire hazard.
10.Do NOT slide the removable middle shelf in or out when placing or removing food. This action could cause damage to the shelf or cause hot food to tip towards the operator.
11.Do NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or any other non - food products. Do NOT clean this oven with any product that is labeled as containing corrosive chemicals. Heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven can cause microwave radiation leaks.

How Does The Microwave Work?
Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio similar to those used by a radio including AM, CB. They are, however, much shorter than radio approximately five inches in length. Electricity
converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave transmitted to the oven cavity where it is: reflected, transmitted and absorbed.
Reflection
Microwave are reflected by metal just as a ball bounced off a wall. A combination of stationary walls) and rotating antenna, located underneath bottom shelf and above the ceiling cover assure the microwaves are well distributed within the cavity to produce even heating or cooking of
Transmission
Microwave pass through some materials such glass and plastic much like sunlight shining window. Because these substances do not reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal for microwave oven heating containers when
heating, microwaves will be absorbed by food. penetrate to a depth of about 3/4 to 11/2 inches.
