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 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.
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 allgoverning codes and ordinances. A 120Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker isrecommended.) It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance
be provided.
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.

The microwave system featuring OPTIMAWAVF M Plus Technology delivers a constant stream of microwave power - true high, medium and low power - to provide consistent, even
results. Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For
example, to achieve a 50% power level ("medium") in a typical microwave oven, the oven operates 50% of the time at HIGH power and 50% of the time OFR

Sensor Cooking
The microwave system features sensor cooking functions. A
humidity sensor in the oven cavity detects moisture and humidity emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times
to various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the
guesswork out of microwave cooking.
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.
To Turn Off: The turntable can be turned off (except during an auto function).
This is helpful when cooking with plates that are larger than the turntable or when cooking with two 101Ain. (26 cm) plates that are side by side.
To Turn Off: Press TURNTABLE ON/OFF button. "TURNTABLE OFF" will appear in the display. The turntable will
turn back on automatically when cooking is over or when OFF/ CANCEL is pressed.
The rectangular cooking rack is ideal for two-level cooking. It provides extra cavity space for cooking 2 or more containers at the same time. Insert the rack securely into the rack supports on
the side walls of the oven. See "Assistance or Service" to order replacement parts.
