IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or
exposure to excessive microwave energy
and when using electrical appliances basic
safety precautions should be followed
including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the
appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific warning:
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY, page 3.

3. This appliance must be grounded.
Connect only to properly grounded
outlet. See GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS, page 4.

4. Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the COUNTERTOP
INSTALLATION, page 6.

5. Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers – for example, closed
glass jars – can explode and should not
be heated in this oven.

6. Use this appliance only for its intended
use as described in this manual. Do not
use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this
appliance. This oven is specifically
designed to heat or cook food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7. As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when it is used
by children.

8. 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.

9. This appliance should be serviced only
by qualified service technicians. Contact
1-800-726-0190.

10. Do not cover or block any openings on
the appliance.

11. Do not store or use this appliance
outdoors.

12. Do not use this product near water, for
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, or
similar locations.

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. When cleaning surfaces of door and
oven that come together on closing the
door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps
or detergents applied with a sponge or
soft cloth.

17. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
interior:

a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

appliance 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 interior for storage

purposes. Do not leave paper
products, cooking utensils or food in
the oven when not in use.

18. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea

can be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling.
This is called delayed eruptive boiling.
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 THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

19. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

a. Do not use straight-sided containers

with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouth
container.

b. Stir liquid both before and halfway

through heating it.
c. Do not overheat liquid.
d. Use extreme care when inserting a

spoon or other utensil into the

container. This may also cause

delayed eruptive boiling.
e. After heating, allow the container to

stand in the microwave oven for at

least 20 seconds before removing the

container.

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

3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.
It is particularly important that the oven

damage to the door (for example, make
sure that it is not bent); hinges and
latches (for example, make sure that they
are not broken or loosened); door seals
and sealing surface.

GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS

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 with a grounding wire and
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded. Consult a qualified electrician
or serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. If it is necessary to
use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-pronged
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle
that will accept the plug on the appliance.

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.

2. Longer cord sets or an extension cord
should not be used unless the following
precautions are followed (see 3, below).

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord

set or extension cord should match the
rating of the appliance.

• The extension cord must be a grounding-

type 3-wire cord.

• The longer cord should be arranged so

that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.

IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave oven energy when using your
appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:

1. The oven must be placed on a level
surface.

2. The glass turntable and turntable
assembly must be in the oven during
cooking. Handle the glass turntable
carefully and place cookware on it gently
to avoid possible breakage.

3. Incorrect use of browning dish may
cause the turntable to break. See
information about cookware you can use,
page 8-9.

4. Use only the correctly specified bag size
when using the preset popcorn program.

5. The oven has several built-in safety
switches to ensure that the power
remains off when the door is open.
Do not tamper with these switches.

6. Do not operate the microwave oven
empty. Operating the oven with no food
or food that is extremely low in moisture
can cause fire, charring or sparking.

7. Do not cook bacon directly on the
turntable. Excessive local heating of the
turntable may cause the turntable to
break.

8. Do not heat baby bottles or baby food in
the microwave oven. Uneven heating/
hotspots may occur and cause injury.

9. Do not heat narrow-necked containers,
such as syrup bottles.

10. Do not attempt to deep-fry in your
microwave oven.

11. Do not attempt home canning in this
microwave oven, as it is impossible
to be sure all contents of the jar have
reached boiling temperature.

12. Do not use this microwave oven for
commercial purposes. This microwave
oven is made for household use only.

13. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to deterioration
that could adversely affect the life of
the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
