The safety instructions below will tell you how to use your oven and avoid harm to yourself or damage to your oven.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy.
• Read all the instructions before using your oven.
• Do not allow children to use this oven without close supervision.
Read and follow the specific PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY found
on page 2.
• Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors, such as sulfide and chloride, in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar location.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
• Clean the ventilating hood frequently. Do not allow grease to accumulate on the hood or the filters.
Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking

• Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.
It is made for household use only.
• When cleaning the door and the surfaces that touch the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents and a sponge or soft cloth.
• If your oven is dropped or damaged, have it
thoroughly checked by a qualified service technician before using it again.
• To avoid a fire hazard:
- Do not severely overcook food. Severely
overcooked foods can start a fire in the oven. Watch the oven carefully, especially if you have paper, plastic, or other combustibles in the oven.
- Do not store combustible items (bread, cookies, etc.) in the oven, because if lightning
strikes the power lines it may cause the oven to turn on.
- Do not use wire twist-ties in the oven. Be sure to inspect purchased items for wire twist-ties and remove them before placing the item in the oven.
• If a fire should start:
- Keep the oven door closed.
- Turn the oven off.
- Disconnect the power cord or shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Use care when cleaning the vent hood filters.
Corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-based oven cleaners may damage the filters.
• Do not tamper with the built-in safety switches on the oven door. The oven has several built-in
safety switches to make sure the power is off when the door is open.
When food flames under the hood, turn the fan on.
• To avoid electric shock:
- This appliance must be grounded. Connect it
only to a properly grounded outlet. See the electrical GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 6.
- Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation Instructions for directions on properly placing the cord. Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or crush it in any way.
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.
