All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
mMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
When using eHectricaHappliances basic safety precautions shouHd be followed, incHuding the following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, eHectric
shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
m Read aH instructions before using the microwave
oven.
m Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTHONS TO
AVOHD POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" found in this section.
m The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" found in this section.
m Install or locate the microwave oven only in accord°
ance with the provided Installation Instructions.
m Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and
sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars - may explode and should not be heated in the
microwave oven.
m 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 lab-
oratory use, 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 store any materials, other than manufacturer's
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in
use_
,. Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a dam-
aged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it
has been damaged or dropped.
Do not deep fry in oven. MicrowavabHe utensils are
not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.
,. Do not use paper products when appliance is
operated in the "PAN BROWN" mode.
,. Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with
metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
mAs with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
mThe microwave oven should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact nearest auth- orized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
mDo not cover or block any openings on the
microwave oven.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
• Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this product near water - for exampUe, near a
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swim- ming pool and the Hke.
• See door surface cUeaning instructions in the "Oven Care" section.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
- Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the micro- wave oven if 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 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.
- Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) Door (bent), (2) Hinges and Hatches(broken or Hoosened),
(3) Door seaHsand seaHingsurfaces.
(d) The oven shouHd not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except properly quaHified service personnel
The microwave oven is connected to a 110-volt side of the 240-
volt circuit required for the lower oven. Ifthe incoming voltage to
the microwave oven is less than 110 volts cooking times may be
longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system,
GROUNDING mNSTRUCTmONS
,=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.
WARNmNG: 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.
,= For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

The crisper pan is ideal for rapidly browning and crisping the bottom of foods, such as cookies and pizza.
The material coating the bottom absorbs microwaves and transfers the heat to the pan and food. The crisper pan reaches 436°F (210°C) in approximately 3 minutes, at which time it stops absorbing microwaves and holds this optimal frying temperature.
• The crisper pan will become hot. Always use the handle and oven mitts or pot holders when handling.
• Never allow the crisper pan or handle to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.
• Always use the turntable.
• Never use another metal object with the crisper pan.
• The crisper pan is designed specifically for this oven. Do not use it in any other oven.
• Use only wooden or plastic cooking utensils to help prevent scratches.
• See "Assistance or Service" section to reorder.
• Grids will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling.
• Never allow the grids to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.
• Always use the turntable.
• Never use another metal object with the grids.
• Two level cooking is not recommended.
• See "Assistance or Service" section to reorder.

The turntable rotates in both directions to help cook food more
evenly. Do not operate the microwave oven without the turntable in place. See "Assistance or Service" to reorder any of the parts.
To Install:
1. Remove tape from the hub.
2. Place the support on the oven cavity bottom.
3. Place the turntable on the support. Fit the raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable
bottom between the three spokes of the hub. The rollers on the support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.
Broiling Grid (long legs}
The broiling grid places food close to the broil element, making it ideal for fast browning of small amounts of food. Use for Broiling only.
Convection Grid (short legs - on some models)
The convection grid provides optimal heat circulation for Convection Cooking.
