WARNING

To reduce the risk of re in the oven cavity:

a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend oven 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

c. KEEP oven DOOR CLOSED, turn oven off, and

disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel, if materials inside the oven should ignite. Fire may spread if door is

opened.

d. DO NOT use the cavity for storage. DO NOT leave

paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

1. Briskly stir or pour liquids before cooking 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. Do not operate oven without load or food in oven cavity.

6. 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.

7. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven.

8. Do not heat baby bottles in oven.

9. Do not use metal utensils in oven.

10. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking.

11. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer’s recommendations on product use.

12. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or other synthetic bers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.

13. 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 cooking.

14. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or pacemaker manufacture about effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

a. DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with door

open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.

b. DO NOT place any object between oven front

face and door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

c. DO NOT operate oven if it is damaged. It is

particularly important that oven door close properly and that there is no damage to: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

d. Oven should NOT be adjusted or repaired by

anyone except properly qualied service personnel.

Grounding Instructions

WARNIN G

To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven

must be grounded.

WARNIN G

To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, do not alter

the plug.

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.

Consult a qualied 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 qualied electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate circuit with the electrical rating as shown on the oven’s serial plate / rating label. When a microwave oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.

Earthing Instructions

Oven MUST be earthed. Earthing 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 earth wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.

Consult a qualied electrician or servicer if earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly earthed.

Do not use an extension cord.

If the product power cord is too short, have a qualied electrician install a new receptacle close enough to the oven to plug the oven in. This oven should be plugged into a separate circuit with the electrical rating as provided in product specications (available on www. acpsolutions.com). When a microwave oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.

External Equipotential Earthing Terminal

(export only)

Equipment has secondary earthing terminal. Terminal provides external earthing connection used in addition to earthing prong on plug. Located on outside of oven back, terminal is marked with symbol shown below.

Installation

Unpacking Oven

• Inspect 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.

• Remove all materials from oven interior.

• If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a few hours before connecting power.

Radio Interference

Microwave operation may cause interference to radio, television. Reduce or eliminate interference by doing the following:

• Clean door and sealing surfaces of oven according to instructions in “Care and Cleaning” section.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install oven.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

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.

• Do not block or obstruct oven lter. Allow access for cleaning.

• Install oven on level countertop surface.

A—Allow at least 7 “ (17.8 cm) of clearance around top and

sides of oven. Proper air ow around oven cools electrical components. With restricted air ow, oven may not operate properly and life of electrical parts is reduced.

B—Allow at least 2 9/16 “ (6.5 cm) between air discharge on

back of oven and back wall.
