ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not operate the oven when empty.

• The removable glass tray MUST ALWAYS BE IN PLACE WHEN oven

is in use.

• 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.

• To avoid exposure to dangerous high voltage, DO NOT REMOVE THE

OUTER CASE.

INSTALLATION
Before you install and use your new microwave oven, check it for possible

concealed shipping damage. If damage has occurred, immediately report it to your
authorized dealer. Do not attempt to operate the oven.

Free movement of air to and from the microwave oven is required to keep the
magnetron and other electrical components cool as well as to remove moisture

from the oven during cooking. Vents and intakes for air movement must be kept

clean and unobstructed. Air intakes and vents are located as follows:

Air intake underneath oven. Do not remove legs or obstruct air flow beneath
unit.

Air vents across top of oven. Do not cover or obstruct vent openings.

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 an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.

WARNIN _ Improper use of the grounding plug can result in

a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.

Use of an extension cord is not recommended, but if it is absolutely 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.

SAFETY

Where an electrical wall receptacle is encountered which will accept only a two-

prong plug, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the owner to

contact a qualified electrician and have the outlet replaced with a properly

grounded and polarized receptacle for a three-prong, grounding plug. Such

receptacle must also meet local electrical codes, if applicable, and/or the National

Electrical Code.

If local codes permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly

grounded and polarized, two-prong outlet using an adapter. Note, however, that

attaching the adapter grounding terminal to the outlet cover screw will not ground
the oven unless the outlet itself is grounded through the house wiring. Proper

grounding and polarization for the use of a temporary adapter are the personal
responsibility and obligation of the owner.

IMPORTANT
The above grounding instructions must be followed not only for your

personal protection against shock and fire hazards, but also to insure
satisfactory operation of the electronic controls. In addition to proper
grounding, a polarity check of outlet should be made to insure that polarity is

not reversed. Improper grounding or reversed polarity can damage the
electronic control or cause it to operate erratically.
