Grounding
Instructions
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be
grounded and plug must not be altered.
Oven MUST be grounded .
Grounding reduces risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current if an electrical
short occurs. This 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. See Installation
Instructions.
Consult a qualied electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord . If the product power
cord is too short, have
three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a
separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical ratting as
shown in specications table. When the oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times
may be required and fuses can be blown.
Microwave operates on standard household current, 110120V.

If you see arcing, press STOP and correct the problem.
Arcing is the term for sparks in your microwave oven. Arcing
is caused by:
Adapter Plugs
CAUTION
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be
disconnected infrequently:
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
recommend against the use of an adapter plug. If you
still choose to use an adapter (where local codes permit), a
temporary connection can be made to a properly
grounded 2-prong wall receptacle using a UL listed adapter,
available at most hardware stores.
Have the circuit checked by a qualied electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. Otherwise, the
adapter ground terminal may break with repeated use.
Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a
proper ground has agai
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be
disconnected frequently:
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations. Frequent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the
adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. Have a qualied electrician replace the 2-prong
wall receptacle with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle
before using the appliance.

Commission Radio
Frequency Interference
Statement (U.S.A. Only)
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 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 following:
WAR
a. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
b. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
c. If an extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord set should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3wire cord.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on
unintentionally.
If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker
and the blower sound may vary when the microwave oven
is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.
NING
Radio Interference
Reorient the receiving antenna of the 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
the microwave oven and the receiver are on different
branch circuits.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or
television interference caused by unauthorized
modification to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility
of the user to correct such interference.
1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
1) Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
2) Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
3) Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the
receiver.
4) Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

Important Safety Instructions
Precautions to Avoid
Possible Exposure to
Excessive Microwave
Energy
Adhere to the following precautions:
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 interlock switches.
DO NOT place any object between the oven front face
and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door
gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
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:
1. door (bent),
2. hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
3. door seals and sealing surfaces.
Oven should not be be adjusted or repaired by anyone
except properly qualied service personnel.
WARNING
Liquids such as water, coee, 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
