This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

WARNING

When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should be followed to reduce the risk of burns, electrical shock, re, or injury to persons.

1. READ all instructions before using equipment.

2. READ AND FOLLOW the specic “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” on this page.

3. This equipment MUST BE EARTHED. Connect only to properly EARTHED outlet. See “EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS” on page 5.

4. Install or locate this equipment ONLY in accordance with the installation instructions in this manual.

5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed glass jars—are able to explode and SHOULD NOT be HEATED

in this oven.

6. Use this equipment ONLY for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this equipment. This type of oven is specically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7. As with any equipment, CLOSE SUPERVISION is necessary when used by CHILDREN.

8. DO NOT heat baby bottles in oven.

9. Baby food jars shall be open when heated and contents stirred or shaken before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

10. DO NOT operate this equipment if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

17. For commercial use only.

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 that the oven door close properly and

that there is no damage to the:

1. door (bent)

2. hinges and latches (broken or loosened)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To avoid risk of re 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 LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

i) Do not overheat the liquid. ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through

heating it.

iii) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow

necks.

iv) After heating, allow the container to stand in the

microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

v) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or

other utensil into the container.

CAUTION

WARNING

To avoid 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 operate equipment without load or food in oven cavity.

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 use metal utensils in oven.

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

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 bers. 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. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.

13. An authorized servicer MUST inspect equipment annually. Record all inspections and repairs for

future use.

14. Clean oven regularly and remove any food

deposits.

15. To avoid surface deterioration, keep the oven in a clean condition. Infrequent cleaning could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazadous situation.

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.
