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.

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 use or store this appliance 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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The oven is designed to operate on a standard

120V/60Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at least 20A 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.

Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the
