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

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. or

(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.

USING AN ADAPTER

Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if the still elect to use an adapter, where local codes may permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL/CSA listed adapter, which is avilable at most hardware stores.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL USE

DO NOT attempt to temper with or make any adjustment or repair to door, control panel or any other part of the oven. DO NOT remove outer case from oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service person.

If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

DO NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

DO NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.

DO NOT use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used.

DO NOT hit or strike the control panel, damage to controls may occur.

4

AVOID inserting nails, wire, etc. through any holes in the unit while operating the oven. Never insert a wire, nails or any other metal object through the holes on the cavity or any other holes or gaps because such objects may cause electric shock and microwave leakage.

UTENSILS

METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.

METAL TWIST-TIE must not be used in the microwave oven.

DO NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK buttles for cooking or reheating.

They may shatter.

DO NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the microwave oven.

FOOD

Never use your microwave oven for HOME CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit proper canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

COOKING TIMES given in the cooking guide are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking are: starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of foods and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.

It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVENCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times.

SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.

DO NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.

Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acom squash and sausage are examples of food with NONPOROUS SKINS. These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.
