FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO FREQUENCY
INTERFERENCE STATEMENT ( U.S.A. ONLY)
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has
been type tested and found to comply with limits for ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following:
• Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
• Relocate the Microwave Oven with respect to the receiver.
•Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
• Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and the receiver are on different
branch circuits.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modification to
this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.
➣ To avoid risk of electrical shock
or death, this oven must be
grounded.
➣ To avoid risk of electrical shock
or death, do not alter the plug.
WARNING
Grounding Instructions
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 grounding
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 60 hertz circuit with the
electrical rating as shown in specifications table. When the combination oven
is on a circuit with other equipment, an
increase in cooking times may be
required and fuses can be blown.
Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-120V.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend oven
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. DO NOT
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food
in the cavity when not in use.
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 LIQ-
UIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN 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.
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
1. DO NOT deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat
and be hazardous to handle.
2. DO NOT cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an
unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure
may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or
knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar
foods before cooking with microwave energy.
When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4. DO NOT leave oven unattended.
5. DO NOT use regular cooking thermometers in
oven when cooking in microwave or combination
mode. Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction,
or damage to oven.
6. DO NOT use metal utensils in oven except when
recommended by microwave food manufacturers
or recipe requires metal utensils in convection or
combination mode. Heat food in containers made
of glass or china if possible.
7. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials that are not intended for cooking. If oven
temperature is high, material may ignite.
8. Oven temperature is at least 100° F in convection
mode. Verify plastic, paper or other combustible
materials are recommended by the manufacturer
to withstand the minimum oven temperature.
9. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on product use.
10. DO NOT use paper towels which contain nylon
or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could
melt and cause paper to ignite.
11. 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.
12. Racks, utensils, rack guides, and oven surfaces
may become hot during or after use. Use utensils
or protective clothing, like pan grips or dry oven
mitts, when necessary to avoid burns.
13. DO NOT unplug oven immediately after use.
Internal fan must cool oven to avoid damage of
electrical components.
14. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of
microwave energy on pacemaker.

Installation
Unpacking Oven
• Inspect oven for damage such as
dents in door or inside oven cavity.
•Report any dents or breakage to
source of purchase immediately.
Do not attempt to use oven if
damaged.
•Remove all materials from oven
interior.
• If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a few hours
before connecting power.
Oven Placement
• Do not install oven next to or above
source of heat, such as pizza oven
or deep fat fryer. This could cause
microwave oven to operate improperly and could shorten life of electrical parts.
• Allow enough room for air movement around oven.
• Install oven on level countertop
surface.
• Outlet should be located so that
plug is accessible when oven is in
place.
Oven Clearances
A— Allow at least 4” of clearance
around top and sides of oven.
Proper air flow around oven
cools electrical components.
With restricted air flow, oven
may not operate properly and
life of electrical parts is reduced.
B— Install combination oven so oven
bottom is at least 3 feet (36 inches) above floor.
Built-In Capability
