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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 followthe 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 use or store this appliance outdoors. Do not

use this product near water - for example, near a
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, and the like.

• 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
equipment 36 inches wide or less.

• 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

the microwave oven is not always present. THIS

COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY

BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTEN-
SIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.To reduce the

risk of injury to persons;

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical

short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the

electric current. The cord for this appliance has a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING - If you use the grounding plug

improperly, you risk electric shock.

Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the

appliance is properly grounded.
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.

ELECTRICAL RATING

* Electrical Rating of the Oven:120V AC 60Hz
"13 Amps / 1500 Watts (MWO + Cooktop Lamp +

Ventilation Fan)

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The oven is designed to operate on a Standard

120V/60Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at

DEFROSTING TIPS

• When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be
entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of

pounds (the weight of the food minus the

container).

• Only use AUTO DEFROST for raw food. AUTO
DEFROST gives best results when food to be

thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a
"true" freezer). If food has been stored in a

refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a

temperature of 5°F or below, always program a

lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to
prevent cooking the food.

• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20
minutes, enter a lower food weight.

• The shape of the package alters the defrosting

time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more

quickly than a deep block.

• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.

• You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to

shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish
tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the

oven. Foil can damage the oven lining.

• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they

start to become warm.

• For better results, a preset standing time is
included in the defrosting time.
