appliance.

2. Read and follow the specic: "PRECAU­TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY"
found on page 1.

3. As with most cooking appliances, close
supervision is necessary to reduce the risk

of a re in the oven cavity.

4. To reduce the risk of re in the oven

cavity:

i) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

the appliance when paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
ii) Remove wire twist-ties and metal
handles from paper or plastic containers/

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.

v) Never operate an empty microwave

oven. Arcing or sparking in the oven
cavity may occur.

5. This oven must be grounded. Connect

6. Install or locate this oven only in
accordance with the installation
instructions provided.

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 the oven.

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, re, injury to persons or

exposure to excessive microwave oven energy when using your
appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

8. Use this appliance only for its intended

uses as described in this manual. Do
not use corrosive chemicals or vapors
in this appliance. This oven is
specically designed to heat or cook

21. 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.

i) Do not overheat the liquid.
ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
iii) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
iv) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time

before removing the container.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal
components can cause serious
personal injury or death. Do not
disassemble this appliance.

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard
An improperly grounded appliance
can result in electric shock. Do
not plug into an outlet until
appliance is properly installed
and grounded.

Three-pronged
(grounding) plug

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. To protect against electrical shock,
this appliance is equipped with a cord having a 3­prong grounding-type plug for insertion into a proper
grounding-type receptacle. DO NOT alter the plug
for use in a 2-prong receptacle. DO NOT use a
3-prong adapter to enable the microwave to be
plugged into a 2-prong receptacle. If the plug will

not t into a receptacle, have the proper receptacle
installed by a qualied electrician.

Consult a qualied electrician or serviceman if the

grounding instructions are not completely understood
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that
h as a 3-pronged 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.

EN-3

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in

or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in

their use.

3. If a long cord sets or extension cord is used:

i) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension marked electrical rating of

the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the

appliance.
ii) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
iii) 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:
i) Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
ii) Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
iii) Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
iv) Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
v) Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and

receiver are on different branch circuits.

CAUTION UTENSILS

Personal injury Hazard
Tightly-closed utensils
could explode. Closed
containers should be opened
and plastic pouches should be
pierced before cooking.

See the instructions on "Materials you can use in
microwave oven or to be avoided in microwave oven."
There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not
safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the
