IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING_ To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,

fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY"

found on Page7.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" on Page 8.

4. Do not mount this appliance over a sink. Install or locate this

appliance in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -- for

example, closed glassjars -- may explode and should not be heated

in this oven. In rare instances, poached eggs have been known

to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.

6. Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, sausages,

tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks

(see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape

during cooking.

7. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this

manual. Do not usecorrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, dry, or defrost food. It is not designed for industrial, laboratory, or commercial use. It is intended for home use only. Do not use for

drying clothes, linens, newspaper, or similar non-food type items.

8. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

9. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has beendamaged or dropped.

10. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized Jenn-Air service facility for

examination, repair or adjustment.

11. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

12. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near

water -- for example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool

or near a sink.

13. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

14. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

15. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

16. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or

detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

17. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper,

plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside

the oven to facilitate cooking. Avoid using recycled paper

products. Such products sometimes contain impurities

which could ignite.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before

placing bag in oven.

c. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door

closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or

shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d. Do not use the oven for storage purposes. Do not leave

paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

e. Do not pop popcorn except in a microwave approved

popcorn popper or in a commercial package recommended especially for microwave ovens.

18. Do not operate the oven when empty.

19. 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.

20. To avoid exposure to dangerous high voltage, DO NOT REMOVE THE OUTER CASE.

21. Do not store metal oven rack in oven. Use the rack only when cooking more than one dish. Do not use microwave browning

dish on shelf; the shelf could overheat.

22. Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.

23. Use metal only as directed in cookbook. 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 (other than metal shelf) at least 1-inch away from sides of oven.

24. "Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced, or vented.

25. Do NOT defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked bottles.

26. Liquids _:,:r !_ certain shaped containers (especially

cylinc: _,:: :_ :' --tainers) may become overheated, splash out with a ioL,_,_-,oise.For best results, stir the liquid several

times before heating. Always stir liquids several times between reheatings.

27. 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.

28. Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the

cookware.

29. Use only cooking utensils and accessories made for use in the microwave and specifically described in this manual or

cookbook.

30. 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.

31. 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.

32. 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.

33. This over-the-range oven was designed for use over ranges no wider than 42 inches. It may be installed over both gas and

electric cooking equipment.

NOTE" These microwave ovens are UL listed for installation over

certain cooktops and ranges as outlined below.

Model M438

The M438 can be installed above all non-grill gas and electric conventional cooktops which require updraft ventilation. Not

recommended over ranges or cooktops with grilling capability unless the range or cooktop is equipped with

downd raft ventilation.

Model M418

Safety Precautions for Exhaust Fan (Model M438 Only)

In addition to starting by touching the fan switch, the exhaust fan

may start automatically if excessive temperatures occur around the microwave oven. This may occur with high temperature frying or long

term cooking on the cooktop surface below the hood or during broiling or the pyrolytic (self) cleaning of a range.

This automatic exhaust fan feature is designed to prevent damage from overheating of the oven parts. The exhaust fan may stay on as long

as 30 minutes to cool the oven. The cooling time will depend on removal of the heat source. Pushing the fan switch will not turn the fan off.

Because of the automatic exhaust fan feature, the following cautions must be observed:

1. DO NOT leave the area when using your cooktop at a high setting. Accidental fires from boilover or spattering on the

surface unit could spread, especially if the exhaust fan is operating.

2. DO NOT allow grease and soil to build up in the exhaust filter. Exhaust fan efficiency will decrease and fire may result. Clean

frequently following the filter cleaning instructions.

3. DO NOT flame foods when operating the exhaust fan. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame and cause personal injury or property damage.

4. In the event of a grease fire, smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid.

5. Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

a riskof electricshock. Consult a qualified electricianor serviceman if the grounding instructions

are notcompletelyunderstood,or if doubt existsastowhether the appliance isproperlygrounded.

Useof an extensioncord isnot recommended,butif itisabsolutelynecessary

to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-

blade groundingplug, and a 3-slot receptaclethat will accept the plug on

the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greaterthan the electricalrating of the appliance.

Where an electrical wall receptacle is encountered which will accept only a two-prongplug,it isthe personalresponsibilityand obligationof the owner to contacta qualifiedelectricianand havetheoutlet replacedwith a properly groundedand polarizedreceptaclefor a three-prong,grounding plug. Such

receptacle mustalso meet local electrical codes, if applicable, and/or the NationalElectricalCode.

Do not usean adapter plugwith thisappliance.

IMPORTANT

The abovegroundinginstructionsmust be followed not only for your

personalprotectionagainst shock and fire hazards, but alsoto insure

satisfactoryoperationof 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
