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:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it
c) Do not use straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
d) After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short
time before removing the container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the container.
ARCING
If you see arcing, press Stop/Clear pad and
correct the problem. Arcing is the microwave
term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by :
a) Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
b) Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act
like antennas).
c) Metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or
gold rimmed dishes in the microwave.
d) Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the microwave.

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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 bottles 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
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 acorn
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.
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.
5
INSTALLA TION CARE OF YOUR M.W.O
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.
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 3 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 when choosing a place to
position it, otherwise the insulation might be
adversely attected and breakdowns may occur.
Power supply.
This microwave oven requires a power
supply of approximately 15 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 oven longer cord. Longer cord sets
or extension cords are available and may be
used if care to 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 it
does not drape over the table top or counter
where children can pull on it or trip over it.
Turn the oven off before cleaning.
Keep the inside of the oven clean. When
food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to
oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild
detergent may be used if the oven gets very
dirty. The use of harsh detergent or
abrasives is not recommended.
The outside oven surface should be cleaned
with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a
soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating
parts inside the oven, water should not be
allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean
with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.
If steam accumulates inside or around the
outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft
cloth. This may occur when the microwave
oven is operated under high humidity
conditions and in no way indicates
malfunction of the unit.
It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in
warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
The roller guide and oven cavity floor
should be cleaned regularly to avoid
excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom
surface of the oven with mild detergent
water or window cleaner and dry. The roller
guide may be washed in mild sudsy water.
