IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Recognize this symbol as a SAFETY message
WARNING
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, ELECTRICAL 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 6.
3.This appliance MUST BE GROUNDED. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on page 7.
4.This microwave oven was designed for
installation over ranges with maximum width of
42 inches. It may be installed over both gas and
electric cooking equipment.
5.Install or locate this appliance ONLY in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
6.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers -- for example, closed glass jars -- may
explode and SHOULD NOT be HEATED in this
oven.
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. It is
not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
8.As with any appliance, CLOSE SUPERVISION is
necessary when used by CHILDREN.
9.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.
10. This appliance should be serviced ONLY by qualified
service personnel. Contact nearest authorized
service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
11. DO NOT cover or block any openings on the
appliance.
12. DO NOT store 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.
13. DO NOT immerse cord or plug in water.
14. Keep cord AWAY from HEATED surfaces.
15. DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
16. See door cleaning instructions on page 20.
17. Exhaust Hood:
•Have installed and properly grounded by a
qualified installer. See the special
installation booklet packed with the
microwave oven.
•The exhaust fan in the oven will operate
automatically under certain conditions
(see Automatic Fan Feature). While the
fan is operating, caution is required to
prevent the starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fires.
•Never leave surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite and spread if exhaust fan is operating.
To minimize automatic fan operation, use
adequate sized cookware and use high heat
only when necessary.

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.

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.
Caution
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe
the following:
1. Always press STOP/RESET before
programming 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. Pressure may build up
and erupt. Pierce yolk with a fork or knife
before cooking. Do not reheat previously
cooked eggs in the microwave oven unless
finely chopped or scrambled.
4. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, or other
foods with a "skin" before cooking in
microwave oven. This allows steam to
escape during cooking.
5. Remove excess fat from meats and
poultry to prevent splattering.
6. Do not heat baby bottles in microwave oven.
7. Do not home can in microwave oven. Home
canning is generally done with metal lids.
Since metal lids reflect heat, product may
not be heated uniformly to 212°F or above.
Food could deteriorate. USDA Extension
Specialists do not recommend home canning
in microwave ovens.
8. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating 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.
(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
loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should NOT be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
9. All uncooked foods should be heated to a
final internal temperature of at least 165°F.
Some foods require higher temperatures.
These recommended temperatures kill most
food borne, disease causing organisms.
Some common visual signs that indicate the
cooking temperature has been reached:
• Food steams throughout, not just around
edges.
• Center bottom of dish is very hot to the
touch.
10. If using a microwave popcorn popper, use
according to manufacturer's instructions. Do
not continue to heat after popping has
stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do
not leave oven unattended.
11. Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use. Pop according
to package directions, beginning with the
minimum amount of time recommended.
Use caution when handling hot popcorn
bag.

12. Microwave convenience foods are often
packaged in specially designed packaging.
Special plates, lids, containers, or other unique
packaging materials may be used. Susceptor
packing material (a thin, metalized plastic film) is
frequently used to help brown and crispen foods
such as microwave pizzas, french fries, or fish
sticks. Be sure to follow food package
instructions carefully. Contact convenience food
manufacturer with questions concerning these
products. Amana Refrigeration, Inc. does not
endorse any brand of microwave convenience
foods, or any type of microwave food packaging.
13. Do not operate microwave oven empty. This
could damage the oven.
14. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in
oven. Most cooking thermometers contain
mercury and may cause “arcing”, malfunction,
and/or damage to oven.
15. Metal or ceramic accessories which are designed
to absorb microwave energy to provide heat may
be used with caution. Test device before use
(See "Microwave Cooking section"). Read and
follow manufacturer's instructions provided with
the accessory. Contact accessory manufacturer
with questions concerning these accessories.
Amana Refrigeration, Inc., does not endorse any
brand of accessory.
16. Never use newspapers in oven since paper may
ignite.
17. Pierce or open plastic bags (and other airtight
containers) before heating in microwave oven.
This allows steam to escape during cooking.
18. Containers may become hot and pot holders may
be needed.
19. Closely supervise use by children. Make sure
they can read instructions and reach controls.
Never allow them to lean or swing on oven door.

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 SHOCK OR
OVERHEATING.
WARNING -- IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG
CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH.
This appliance 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 appliance 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 appliance 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.
