IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric i Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a

shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:

[] Read all instructions before using the microwave

oven.

[] Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO

AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY" found in this section.

[] The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect

only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS" found in this section and in the

provided Installation Instructions.

[] Install or locate the microwave oven only in

accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

[] Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be

overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be 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 SPOON OR

OTHER UTENSIL IS iNSERTED INTO THE LiQUiD.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

- Do not overheat the liquid.

- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.

- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.

- After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing

the container.

- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.

[] Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking

equipment.

[] intended to be used above ranges with maximum

width of 36 inches.

[] Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

[] Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not

be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create
a fire or risk of electric shock.

[] Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can

burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a
risk of electric shock.

[] Do not use paper products when appliance is

operated in the "PAN BROWN" mode (on models
with this feature).

[] Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's

recommended accessories, in this oven when not in

use.

[] Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave

oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

[] When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
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.

(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is

particularly important that the oven door close
properly 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.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz,

AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply (or circuit breaker)

is required. (A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.) It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

[] For all cord connected appliances:

The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven 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 plug 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 microwave oven is properly grounded.

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 microwave oven.
