IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

_IL WARNING-To reduce the risk of burns,

electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy.

• Read all the instructions before using your oven.

• Do not allow children to use this oven without

close supervision.

• Read and follow the specific PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY found

on page 2.

• Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors, such as sulfide and chloride, 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.

• 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.

• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not

leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in

the cavity when not in use.

• Clean the ventilating hood frequently. Do not

allow grease to accumulate on the hood or the

filters.

• Suitable for use above gas or electric cooking

equipment 22 inches or less wide.

• Do not use this oven for commercial purposes. It is made for household use only.

• When cleaning the door and the surfaces that

touch the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents and a sponge or soft cloth.

• If your oven is dropped or damaged, have it

thoroughly checked by a qualified service technician

before using it again.

To avoid a fire hazard:

- Do not severely overcook food. Severely overcooked foods can start a fire in the oven.

Watch the oven carefully, especially if you have paper, plastic, or other combustibles in the oven.

- Do not store combustible items (bread, cookies, etc.) in the oven, because if lightning strikes the power lines it may cause the oven to

turn on.

- Do not use wire twist4ies in the oven. Be sure

to inspect purchased items for wire twist-ties and

remove them before placing the item in the oven.

If a fire should start:

- Keep the oven door closed.

- Turn the oven off.

- Disconnect the power cord or shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

• Use carefully when cleaning the vent hood filters. Corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-based oven

cleaners, may damage the filters.

• Do not tamper with the built-in safety switches

on the oven door. The oven has several built-in safety switches to make sure the power is off when

the door is open.

• When food flames under the hood, turn the fan on.

To avoid electric shock:

- This appliance must be grounded. Connect it only to a properly grounded outlet. See the

electrical GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 6.

- 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.

- Do not immerse the electrical cord or plug in water.

- Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

• To avoid improperly cooking some foods.

- Do not heat any types of baby bottles or baby

food. Uneven heating may occur and possibly cause personal injury.

- Do not heat small-necked containers, such as syrup bottles.

- Do not deep-fat fry in your microwave oven.

- Do not allow the gray film on special microwave-

cooking packages to touch the oven floor. Put the

package on a microwavable dish.

- Do not cook anything directly on the oven floor or

turntable. Use a microwavable dish.

- Keep a browning dish at least 3/16 inch above floor. Carefully read and follow the instructions for the browning dish. If you use a browning dish

incorrectly, you could damage the oven floor.

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

• This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

• 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical

short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The cord for this appliance has a

grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING-If youuse the grounding

plug improperly, you risk electric shock.

Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the appliance is properly grounded. Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a

short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation Instructions for directions on placing the cord properly. Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or crush it in any way.

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.

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The oven is designed to operate on a Standard 120V/60 Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at

least 15A and the microwave oven is the only appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50Hz or

any circuit other than a 120V/60Hz circuit.

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.
