IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described

in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when

used by children.

■ Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord

or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

■ The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified

service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave Oven

Care” section.

■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven

when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before

placing bags in oven.

– If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed,

turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave

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

■ Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to 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.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons: – Do not overheat the liquid. – Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow

necks.

– After heating, allow the container to stand in the

microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other

utensil into the container.

■ Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not

be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

■ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn

off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

■ Do not operate any heating or cooking appliance

beneath the microwave oven.

■ Do not mount microwave oven over or near any portion

of a heating or cooking appliance.

■ Do not use paper products when appliance is operated

in convection, combination, grill or “PAN BROWN” mode (on models with such features).

■ Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s

recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

■ Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave

oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

■ Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave

oven.

■ Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use

the microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar locations.

■ Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

■ Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

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

■ Do not mount over a sink.

■ Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with

metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open

since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and

the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.

important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1) Door (bent), (2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone

except properly qualified service personnel.

Installation Instructions

Unpacking

1. Empty the microwave oven of any packing materials.

2. Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.

3. Check for damage, such as:

■ a door that is not lined up correctly

■ damage around the door, or

■ dents on the interior or exterior of the microwave oven.

If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave oven until a designated service technician has checked it and made any needed repairs.

Location Requirements

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install microwave oven.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

IMPORTANT: The control side of the microwave oven is the heavy side. Handle the microwave oven gently. The weight of the microwave oven is over 35 lbs (15.9 kg).

■ Place the microwave oven on a cart, counter, table or shelf that

is strong enough to hold the microwave oven and the food and utensils you place inside it.

■ The microwave oven should be at a temperature above 50°F

(10°C) for proper operation.

NOTE: Some models can be built into a wall or cabinet by using one of the trim kits listed in the “Assistance or Service” section.

■ Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow

a few inches of space at the back and side of the microwave oven where the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the exhaust vents could cause damage to the microwave oven, as well as poor cooking results.

■ Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure

proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal device may automatically turn the microwave oven off. The microwave oven should work properly once it has cooled.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Required:

■ A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply

with a fuse or circuit breaker.

Recommended:

■ A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.

■ A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

■

For all cord connected appliances:

The microwave 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. The microwave 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.

WARNING: 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 microwave oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.
