IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Caution
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating with
microwave energy to prevent spontaneous boiling
or eruption. Do not overheat. If air is not mixed
into a liquid, liquid can erupt in oven or after removal
from oven.
2. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and
be hazardous to handle.
3. 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.
4. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods
before cooking with microwave energy. When skin
is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
5. Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies
depending on oven wattage. Do not continue to heat
after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or
burn. Do not leave oven unattended.
6. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven.
Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and
may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or
damage to oven.
7. Do not heat baby bottles in oven.
8. Do not use metal utensils in oven except when
recommended by microwave food manufacturers.
9. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials that are not intended for cooking.
10. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials, follow manufacturer's
recommendations on product use.
11. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon
or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could
melt and cause paper to ignite.
12. 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.
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.
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 the oven door close
properly and there is no damage to the: (1)
door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken
or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing
surfaces.
d. The oven should NOT be adjusted or repaired
by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR
REMOVE THE ROUND
GROUNDING PRONG FROM
THE PLUG OR BEND THE
POWER PRONGS TO FIT A
RECEPTACLE OTHER THAN
THE ONE SHOWN FOR YOUR
OVEN. SUCH ABUSE OF THE
PLUG CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCKS OR
OVERHEATING.
120V-15AMP
WARNING
IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG CAN RESULT
IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH.
This oven MUST be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. 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. DO
NOT use a two-prong adapter.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if the 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 the appropriate drawing at left. When a microwave
oven is on a circuit with other appliances, an increase in cooking
times may be required and fuses can be blown.
Unpacking Oven
• Remove all materials from oven interior.
• Inspect microwave oven for damage such as
dents in door or dents inside oven cavity.
• Report any dents or breakage to source of
purchase immediately. Do not attempt to use oven
if damaged.
• If oven has been stored in extremely cold area,
wait a few hours before plugging in.
Oven Placement
• Do not install microwave oven next to or above
source of heat, such as an range or deep fat fryer.
This could cause microwave oven to operate
improperly and could shorten life of electrical
parts.
• Allow air flow around oven. At least 1 inch of
clearance is required at top and sides of
microwave oven to provide proper ventilation.
With restricted air flow, oven does not operate
properly and life of electrical parts will shorten.
Radio Interference
Microwave operation may cause interference to radio,
television, or similar equipment. Reduce or eliminate
interference by doing following:
• Clean door according to door cleaning
instructions in Care and Cleaning section of
manual under General Cleaning.
• Place radio, television, etc. as far as possible
from oven.
• Use a properly installed antenna on radio,
television, etc. to obtain stronger signal reception.
