Important Safety Information
WARNING
!
Read the following information to avoid possible exposure to microwave radiation:
The basic design of the Microwave Oven makes it an inherently safe device to both use and service.
However, there are some precautions which should be followed when servicing the microwave to maintain this
safety. These are as follows:
1. Always operate the unit from an adequately
grounded outlet. Do not operate on a two-wire
extension cord.
8. Do not for any reason defeat the interlock
switches there is not valid reason for this action
at any time; nor will it be condoned by ACP.
2. Before servicing the unit (if unit is operable) perform
the microwave leakage test.
3. The oven should never be operated if the door does
not t properly against the seal, the hinges or hinge
bearings are damaged or broken; the choke is
damaged, (pieces missing, etc.); or any other
visible damage can be noted. Check the choke
area to ensure that this area is clean and free of all
foreign matter.
4. If the oven operates with the door open and
produces microwave energy, take the following
steps:
A. Tell the user not to operate the oven.
B. Contact ACP ComServ
5. Always have the oven disconnected when the outer
case is removed except when making the "live"
tests called for in the Service Manual. Do not
reach into the equipment area while the unit is
energized. Make all connections for the test and
check them for tightness before
into the outlet.
6. Always ground the capacitors on the magnetron
lter box with an insulated-handle screwdriver
before working in the high voltage area of the
equipment compartment. Some types of failures
will leave a charge in these capacitors and the
discharge could cause a reex action which could
make you injure yourself.
immediately.
plugging the cord
9. IMPORTANT: Before returning a unit to a
customer, be sure to check for proper switch
interlock action.
10. The Microwave Oven should never be
operated with any components removed and/or
bypassed or when any of the safety interlocks are
found to be defective, or when any of the seal
surfaces are defective, missing, or damaged.
11. All microwave ovens meet all requirements
of the radiation control for Health and Safety Act of
1968. Due to measurement uncertainties, the
maximum leakage for the eld will be 4mw/cm .
12. To ensure that the unit does not emit excessive
microwave leakage and to meet the
of Health and Human Services guidelines, check
the oven for microwave leakage using a microwave
oven leakage meter that complies with US
Government CDRH / FDA / DHHS requirements
and or any other local government requirements.
The maximum leakage level allowed by ACP
is 4mw/cm .
13. If servicer encounters an emission reading over
4mw/cm2, the servicer is to cease repair and
contact the ACP ComServ Department
immediately for further direction. ACP
will contact the proper Government
Agency upon verication of the test results.

7. Always remember that in the area of the
transformer there is HIGH VOLTAGE. When the
unit is operating keep this area clear and free of
anything which could possibly cause an arc or
ground, etc.

GROUNDING / EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS” on
page 5.
4. Install or locate this equipment ONLY in
accordance with the installation instructions in
this manual.

counter.
18. 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 too 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)
3. door seals and sealing surfaces.
D. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualied service personnel.

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.
CAUTION
!
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
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.
WARNING
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. Microwave popcorn should not be popped in
oven.
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. Do not use aluminum foil in oven
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 bers. 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.
13. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult
physician or pacemaker manufacturer about
effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.
14. An authorized servicer MUST inspect equipment
annually. Record all inspections and repairs for
future use.

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, or similar a oven. Reduce or eliminate
interference by doing the following:
• Clean door and sealing surfaces of oven according to
instructions in “Care and Cleaning” section.
• Place radio, television, etc. as far as possible
from oven.
• Use a properly installed antenna on radio, television,
etc. to obtain stronger signal reception.
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.
Oven Clearances
A—Allow at least 2 inches / 5.1 centimeters of
clearance around top and sides of equipment.
Proper air ow around equipment cools electrical
components. With restricted air ow, oven may
not operate properly and life of electrical parts is
reduced.
