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 should
ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
They may cause arcing.

Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before
cooking or defrosting in the oven.

For FURTHER INFORMATION on proper
cooking utensils, refer to the Introduction in
the Microwave cooking guide.

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.

POPCORN must be popped in a microwave
corn popper. Microwave popped corn
produces a lower yield than conventional
popping. Do not pop popcorn unless popped
in a microwave approved popcorn utensils
or unless it’s commercially packaged and
recommended especially for microwave
ovens. Do not use oil unless specifed by the
manufacturer.

DO NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your
oven.

HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not
mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your
microwave oven without first stirring.
