MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:
[] 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" found in this section.
[] Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
[] 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.
[] Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do net 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.
[] 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 damaged
cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
[] Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable 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.
[] As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
[] The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service
company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
[] Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave
oven.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
[] 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 MQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE MQUID.
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.
[] Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this
product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
[] See door surface cleaning instructions in the "Oven Care"
section.
[] To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
- Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave
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 (c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly
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.
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.

PARTS AND FEATURES
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.
[] 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 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 microwave 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.

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.
• Do not allow the crisper pan or handle to touch the inside
cavity walls, ceiling or floor.
• Always use the turntable.
• Do not use another metal object with the crisper pan.
• The crisper pan is designed specifically for this microwave
oven. Do not use it in any other microwave oven.
• Use only wooden or plastic cooking utensils to help avoid
scratches.
• See "Assistance or Service" section to reorder.
• Grids will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders
when handling.
• Do not allow the grids to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling
or floor.
• Always use the turntable.
• Do not use another metal object with the grids.
• Two level cooking is not recommended.
• See "Assistance or Service" section to reorder.
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.
