SAFETY INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY:
1 Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open because this
can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important
not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
2 Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or
allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3 Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important
that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
(a) DOOR (bent)
(b) HINGES and LATCHES (broken or loosened)
(c) DOOR SEALS and SEALING SURFACES
4 The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except
properly qualified service personnel.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire,
injury to persons, or exposure to excessive
microwave oven energy when using your oven,
follow these basic safety precautions.
1 Read all instructions before using the oven.
2 Read and follow the specific: “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY:” found on page 3.
3 As with any cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary to
reduce the risk of a fire in the oven cavity or when used by children.
4 To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
i) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the oven when paper,
plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven
to facilitate cooking.

NS-MW09SS8_17-0526_MAN_V2_ENG.fm Page 4 Tuesday, June 27, 2017 10:11 AM
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 oven or 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.
5 This oven must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded
outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 5.
6 Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
7 Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers (for
example closed glass jars), are able to explode and should not be
heated in this oven.
8 Use this oven only for its intended purpose, as described in this
manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this oven. This
oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
9 Do not operate this oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
10 This oven should be serviced only by qualified service technicians.
Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair,
or adjustment.
11 Do not cover or block any openings on the oven.
12 Do not store or use this oven outdoors.
13 Do not use this oven near water (for example, near a kitchen sink, in a
wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations).
14 Do not immerse the cord or plug in water.
15 Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
16 Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.
17 When cleaning the surfaces of the door and the oven that come
together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or
detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
18 Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can 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.
i) Do not overheat the liquid.
ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

state of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash your hands after handling.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can
cause serious personal injury or death. Do not
disassemble this oven.
Improper grounding can result in electric shock.
Do not plug into an outlet until the oven is
properly installed and grounded.
This oven 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 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.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the oven 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 oven. The marked rating of the
extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the
oven.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used
if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the oven.

NS-MW09SS8_17-0526_MAN_V2_ENG.fm Page 6 Tuesday, June 27, 2017 10:11 AM
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord 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
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:
• Clean the door and the sealing surface of the oven.
• Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
• Relocate the oven with respect to the receiver.
• Move the oven away from the receiver.
• Plug the oven into a different outlet so that the oven and
receiver are on different branch circuits.
