SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning! – To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to
persons or exposure to excessive microwave oven energy when using
your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.1.
Read and follow the specific: "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE 2.
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" found on page 3.
As with most cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary to 3.
reduce the risk of a fire in the oven cavity.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: 4.
i). Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the appliance when paper,
plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven
to facilitate cooking.
ii). Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic
containers/bags before placing them in the oven.
iii). If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed. Turn
the oven off, and unplug the appliance. Disconnect the power
cord, shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
iv). Do not use the oven cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper
products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
This oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded 5.
outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" found on page 6.
Install or locate this oven only in accordance with the installation 6.
instructions provided.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers-for example, 7.
closed glass jars-are able to explode and should not be heated in the oven.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 cord 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 it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-pronged 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.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from 1.
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is 2.
exercised in their use.
If a long cord sets or extension cord is used: 3.
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension marked
electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
3) The longer cord sets should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV 1.
or similar equipment.
When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the 2.
following measures:
If a long cord sets or extension cord is used: 3.
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.
5) Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave
oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

CLEANING SUGGESTIONS
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside.
Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven door frame free of food and
grease build-up.
Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave
oven inside and out with a soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution.
Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy
foods like chicken or bacon. Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if
needed.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven:
Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can •
stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use •
harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water in a 4 cup •
glass measuring cup on High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven
cavity for 1 to 2 minutes. (Tip: add lemon juice to keep the oven smelling fresh)
Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or •
tray. To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put
it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray in warm sudsy water
or in the dishwasher.
Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap and a clean damp cloth. Dry •
with a clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do
not let water seep into any vents or openings.
Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft •
clean cloth to avoid scratching.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam •
can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates
microwave leakage.
Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; this can damage the •
magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of standing water
inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally
turned on.
