GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• 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 under
stood, or if doubt exists as to whether the micro
wave 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.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
microwave oven.
Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
If you need to remove your Microwave Hood
Combination for any reason, follow these simple
steps:
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.
2. Remove filters and vent grille.
• If filters Q are installed,
push in at the tab and
slide filter to the outside
edge to remove.
• Remove the two screws
_) from the top of the
microwave oven cabinet
(the screws located clos-
est to the front corners).
Do not remove the
screws located towards
the center of the cabinet.
• Remove the vent grille (_. Set the screws and
grille aside. (If grille cannot be removed, see step
4.)
3. After removing all oven contents, including the
turntable and support,
tape the door in the
closed position. Then
remove the two bolts (_)
e
/ H H \1
securing the microwave

t t -
4. Hold microwave hood combination in place with
one hand. Pull hook _) to
release microwave hood
from mounting plate. If
grille cannot be removed
(per instructions in step 2.),
insert a thin looped wire or
similar tool through an
opening in grille to pull
hook.
5. Grasp the microwave oven. Rotate the microwave
oven downward. (Be careful
that door does not swing
open.) Lift off the support
tabs _) at the bottom of the
mounting plate. Set the
microwave oven aside on a
protected surface.
1. Carefully lift microwave oven and hang it on the
support tabs at the bottom of the mounting plate.
2. Rotate the front of the microwave oven cabinet
downward. Thread the power supply cord through
the power supply cord hole in the bottom of the
upper cabinet.
3. Rotate the microwave oven towards the cabinet. Push
the microwave oven against the mounting plate until
locking latch snaps into the cabinet.
4. Replace the two bolts securing the microwave oven

7. Replace the two screws in the top of microwave oven
cabinet (the screws located closest to front corners).
8. If filters were installed, replace them (see "Installing
and caring for the filters" inthe "Caring for Your
Microwave Oven" section, if needed).
9. Plug in microwave oven or reconnect power.
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need
to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.
• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing
on it when the door is open.
• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat
containers, but the heat from the food can make
the container hot.
• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in
the oven.
• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,
gourds, or clothes in the oven.
• Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty.
Product life may be shortened. If you practice
programming the oven, put a container of water in
the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look
wavy after the oven has been running for a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven.
Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven
because it allows microwaves to pass through it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the
glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate
freely. The turntable can rotate in either direction.
Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the
oven. Handle your turntable with care when
removing it from the oven to avoid possibly
breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks,
contact your dealer for a replacement.
• When you use a browning dish, the browning
dish bottom must be at least _0-inch (5.5 mm)
above the turntable. Follow the directions supplied
with the browning dish.
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause
them to burst, and possibly damage the oven.
Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases,
poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time of one
minute before cutting into them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several times
during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in
certain containers (especially containers shaped like
cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may
splash out with a loud noise during or after heating
when stirring or when adding ingredients (coffee
granules, tea bags, etc.). This can damage the oven.
• Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast.
The heat spreads to the center from the outer,
cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking.
This is one of the reasons for letting some foods
(for example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for
a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods
during the cooking time.
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightly firm because they will continue cooking dur-
ing standing time. After microwaving, let
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish
cooking while standing.
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less
than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a
qualified electrician check your electrical system.
