SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

• 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.

• Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door, or allow soil or

cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

• 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:

- door (bent),

- hinges and latches (broken or loosened),

- door seals and sealing surfaces.

• The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified

service personnel.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance 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. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Ensure proper ground exists before use

WARNING

Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric

shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the

grounding instructions are not completely

understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the

appliance is properly grounded, and either:

1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord,

use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.

The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance, or . . .

2. 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 appliance.

NOTES:

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to

reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are

available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1)

the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The safety instructions below will tell you how to use your oven to avoid harm to yourself or damage to your oven.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or

exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID

POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

MICROWAVE ENERGY found on page 3 of this manual.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet.

See

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS found on page 3 of this manual.

4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

5. Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars are able to

explode and should not be heated in this oven.

6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals

or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has

been damaged or dropped.

9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized

service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water – for example, near a kitchen sink,

in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar location.

12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14. Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.

15. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild,

nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are

placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

c. 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.

d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in

the cavity when not in use.

SAFETY

17. 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;

1) Do not overheat the liquid.

2) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

3) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

4) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container

5) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

18. Avoid heating small-necked containers such as syrup bottles.

19. Avoid using corrosive and vapors, such as sulfide and chloride.

20. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become

overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (instant coffee, etc.), resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. In all containers, for best results, stir the liquid several times before heating. Always stir liquid several times between reheatings.

INSTALLATION

A. Circuits

For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.

B. Voltage Warning

The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specified on the oven name plate located on the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.

C. Placement of the Oven

Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home. Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen countertop or a specially designed microwave oven cart at least 100cm (39.4 inches) from floor. Do not place oven above a gas range. Free air flow around the oven is important. Allow at least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of the oven for proper ventilation.

D. Do not block the air vents

All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered during oven operation the oven may overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

E. Radio interference

1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV

or radio reception.

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the

oven. b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or TV. c. Relocate the microwave oven in relation to the

TV or radio. d. Move the microwave oven away from the

receiver. e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet

so that microwave oven and receiver are on

different branch circuits
