SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to
excessive microwave energy:
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Ŷ
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Ŷ
Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 5.
Ŷ
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or
vapors in this appliance. This microwave oven is
specifically designed to heat, dry or cook food, and is
not intended for laboratory or industrial use.
Ŷ
This appliance should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
INSTALLATION
Ŷ
Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with
the provided installation instructions.
Ŷ
This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to
a properly grounded outlet. See the “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 5.
Ŷ
This microwave oven is UL listed for installation
over both gas and electric ranges.
Ŷ
This unit is suitable for use above gas or electric
cooking equipment, 36’’ or less wide.
Ŷ
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power
cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
Ŷ
Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.
Ŷ
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
Ŷ
Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.
Ŷ
Do not cover or block any opening on the appliance.
Ŷ
Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this
product near water - for example, in a wet basement,
near a swimming pool, or in a similar location.
Ŷ
Do not mount over a sink.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE CAVITY:
— Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when
paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven while cooking.
— Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or
plastic containers before placing them in the oven.
— If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door
closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord,
or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
— Do not store any materials in the oven when not in use.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
— Do not operate the microwave feature without food in
the oven.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS
Ŷ
Be careful when opening containers of hot food. Use pot
holders and direct steam away from face and hands.
Ŷ
Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches or plastic bags to
prevent build-up of pressure.
Ŷ
Be careful when touching the turntable, door, or walls of
the oven which may become hot during use.
Ŷ
Liquids and certain foods heated in the microwave oven
can present a risk of burn when removing them from the
microwave. The potential for a burn is greater in young
children, who should not be allowed to remove hot items
from the microwave.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
OPERATING
Ŷ
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
Ŷ
Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place.
The turntable must be unrestricted so it can turn.
Ŷ
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven
is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles,
cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery
or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or
glaze with a metallic sheen can be used in compliance
with cookware manufacturers’ recommendations.
Ŷ
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave
surface when the microwave is in operation.
Ŷ
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed jars - are able to
explode and should not be heated in the microwave
oven.
Ŷ
Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and
catch fire.
Ŷ
Do not cover any other part of the oven with metal foil.
This will cause overheating of the oven.
Ŷ
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
Ŷ
This oven is not approved or tested for marine use.
CLEANING
Ŷ
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Ŷ
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn
off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of
electric shock.
Ŷ
When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come
together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive
soaps, or detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft
cloth. Rinse well.
SUPER HEATED WATER
Ŷ
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.
Ŷ
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.

SAFETY INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
This appliance 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.
This appliance is equipped
with a power cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if
the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician or service technician
install an outlet near the appliance.
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own
electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing
of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
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.
NOTICE: PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However,
patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use.
VENT FAN
The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions. Take care to prevent the starting
and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.
Ŷ
Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not
allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan
filters.
Ŷ,QWKHHYHQWRIDJUHDVHILUHRQWKHVXUIDFHXQLWV
below the microwave oven, smother a flaming pan
on the surface unit by covering the pan completely
with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

operating. To minimize automatic fan operation,
use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on
surface units only when necessary.

Defrosting Tips
• Remove meat from package and place on microwave-
safe dish.
• When the oven signals, turn the food over. Remove
defrosted meat or shield warm areas with small pieces
of foil.
• After defrosting, most meats need to stand 5 minutes
to complete defrosting. Large roasts should stand for
about 30 minutes.
