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.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive

microwave energy:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

11. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

12. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO

AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 1.

13. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to

properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 3.

14. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with

the provided installation instructions.

15. 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.

16. 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, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

17. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary

when used by children.

18. 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.

19. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified

service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

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

11. 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, or similar locations.

12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

15. Either: a) When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that

comes together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth , or

b) When separate cleaning instructions are provided,

See door surface cleaning instructions on.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance

when paper, plastic, or other com-bustible 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 purposes. Do not

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

17. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides). Vapours from such corrosive chemicals may interact with the contact and springs of the safety interlock switches thereby rendering them inoperable.

18. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.

20. 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:

1 Do not overheat the liquid. 2 Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it 3 Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. 4 After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave

oven for a short time before removing the container.

5 Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil

into the container.

21. Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in a icrowave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

22. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can bum off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

23. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

24. Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overtheating of the oven.

Prior to use(If your oven has a grill element)

In order to protect your oven during transportation and storage, the grill element is covered with a protective coating. To remove this coating the grill element must be heated for 5 minutes. This procedure will produce some bad odors as the protective coating on the element disappears.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for 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.

WARNING:

This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type-tested and found to comply with limits for an ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the followings.

• Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.

• Relocate the Microwave oven with respect to the receiver.

• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

• Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

THE MANUFACTURER is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

WARNING:

Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. 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, and either :

(1) If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade

grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

(2) Do not use an extension cord, if the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or

serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

WARNING:

Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

INSTALLATION

Examine the oven after unpacking.

Check for damage such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity. If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify your dealer immediately.

Level, flat location.

Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface and more than 3ft(914mm) above the floor.

Ventilation.

Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause a failure. For proper ventilation, allow 4 inches of space between oven top, sides, rear and adjacent surfaces.

Away from radio and TV sets.

Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna, feeder, etc. Place the oven as far from them as possible.

Away from heating appliances and water taps.

Keep the oven away from heat, steam or splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect oven wiring and contacts.

Power supply. This microwave oven requires a power supply of approximately 13 Amperes, 120 Volts, 60Hz and a grounded outlet. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the user becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the oven. 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 table top or counter where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 4inches.

When use 3-pronged plug

When use grounding adaptor, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.
