IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as

■

described in the 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.

■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary

when used by children.

■ 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.

■ The microwave oven should be serviced only by

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

■ 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, 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.

■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the

“Microwave Oven Care” section.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ Do not mount over a sink.

■ Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven

when the microwave oven is in operation.

■ 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 use paper products when appliance is operated in

convection, combination, grill or “PAN BROWN” mode.

■ Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's

recommended accessories, in this microwave oven when not in use.

■ Do not cover racks or any other part of the microwave oven with

metal foil. This will cause overheating of the microwave oven.

■ Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

■ When flambéing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

■ Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking equipment.

■ Intended to be used above ranges with maximum width of 36"

(91.44 cm).

■ Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive cleaning

agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

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:

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.
