f. Do not overcook potatoes. They may dehydrate and
catch fire.
g. Do not use for drying clothes, linens, newspaper or
similar non-food type items.
21. Do not operate the oven when empty or with an empty
utensil to avoid damage to the oven and danger of fire.
22. Do not lean on the oven door. The door is designed to
close tightly and seal properly for safe operation.
Leaning on the door may warp or break the hinges.
23. To avoid exposure to dangerous high voltage, DO
NOT REMOVE THE SPLATTER SHIELD inside
the oven cavity.
24. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheated and splash out with a loud noise. For best
results, stir the liquid several times before heating.
Always stir liquids several times between reheatings.
25. Read and follow specific microwave oven preparation instructions on food packages or containers
(especially baby food). Above all, this is a cooking
appliance designed to prepare food.
26. Use only cooking utensils and accessories made for
use in the microwave and specifically described in
this manual.
27. Microwave oven manufacturers do not recommend
deep fat frying or frying in a microwave oven. Hot oil
can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in
skin burns.
28. Plastic wrap: Use only those types designed for
microwave oven use and avoid forming an air-tight
seal. Fold back a small corner or cut a small slit to
allow steam to escape.
29. Stay near the appliance while it is in use and check
cooking progress frequently. Leaving the appliance
unattended may result in overcooked food and possibly a fire in your oven.
30. Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to
boil over more rapidly than foods containing less
moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and
Cleaning section for instructions on how to clean the
inside of the oven.
31. Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwav-
ing unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
32. Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is
very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials
and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of
overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the
food and cookware could ignite. For these reasons: 1)
Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty cookware
to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.
33. Do not store anything directly on top of the
microwave oven surface when the oven is in operation.
34. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4˝ deep; remove top foil cover and return tray to
box. When using metal in microwave oven, keep
metal at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.
35. Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked bottles.
36. Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle the cookware.
37. Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin
wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it
allows microwaves to pass through it.
38. Never use sharp-edged utensils in or near the oven.
39. Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when
opening containers of hot food, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible
injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
40. Clean the vent hood often. Do not allow grease to
build up on the hood or the filter.
41. Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filter.
42. When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan
off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all packing materials both outside and inside the
oven before using the oven. The oven requires free movement of air for proper operation. Do NOT block air vents
located by the top air grill and underneath 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 having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a 120v, 15amp. 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.
Where standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Installation Guide for acceptable extension cord specifications.
Interference Note
Microwave ovens generate radio frequency energy during
operation and if not installed properly may cause interference to radio and television reception. You can determine
if this unit is causing interference by turning it on and off
while the interference is occurring. If interference occurs,
it may be corrected by one or more of the following measures:
◆ clean door and seal surfaces of the oven;
◆ reorient the television or radio receiving antenna;
◆ relocate the oven with respect to the television or radio
receiver, and/or
◆ plug the oven into a different outlet so that it and the
television or radio receiver are on different circuits.
If the interference persists, you may want to consult an
experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
Cooking appliances installed under the microwave oven
may, under some heavy usage conditions, cause temperatures high enough to overheat some internal parts of the
microwave oven.
To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust fan
is designed to automatically turn on at a low speed if
excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the fan
cannot be manually turned off, but it will automatically
turn off when the internal parts have cooled. The fan may
stay on up to approximately 30 minutes after the range and
microwave oven controls have been turned off.
Microwaving Tips
◆ Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven
is suitable for microwaving. Most glass cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware, which does not have metallic trim or glaze
with metallic sheen, can be used.
◆ If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this
test: Place in the oven the dish you are testing and a
glass measuring cup filled with one cup of water. Set
the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it should
not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool
and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is
microwave-safe.
◆ Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be
used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and
prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so
steam can escape.
