[] Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.

[] Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID

POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY" found in this section.

[] The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to

properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS"

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

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 laboratory use.

m As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when

used by children.

m 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.

m The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified

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

m See door surface cleaning instructions in the "Microwave

Oven Care" section.

m 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.

m 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.

m 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.

[] Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking

equipment.

[] Intended to be used above ranges with maximum width of

36" (91.44 cm).

[] Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

[] Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in

the "PAN BROWN" mode (on models with this feature).

[] 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.
[] When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
[] Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive

cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may

damage the filter.
[] 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.

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 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 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.

The grill element has a 1,000-watt halogen bulb and a 500-watt
quartz bulb. The halogen bulb glows very brightly, but the quartz

bulb has a very faint glow that might not be visible.

Convection Element and Fan (on some models)

The convection element and fan are embedded in the wall of the

microwave oven cavity, behind the metal screen.

Progress Bar

The progress bar is a visual picture of the estimated running time of

sensor functions. It appears under "Sensing" in the display.

Interactive Touch Display

The LCD interactive touch display is designed to be easily

navigable, guiding you through the menus, offering multiple
selections, accepting your input and executing your commands.

It also shows instructions, tips and graphics.
TRUCAPTURE ®Ventilation System (on some models)

The vent fan comes on automatically during convection and grill

cooking (on some moodels), and it also comes on if the cooktop
below gets too hot.
