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.

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.

SAFETY

- 5 -

WARNING:

This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency
energy and if not installed and used properly, that is
in strict accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions, may cause interference to radio and
television reception. It has been type tested and
found to comply with limits for ISM Equipment
pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the
following:

• Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or
television.

• Relocate the Microwave Oven with respect to the
receiver.

• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

• Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so

that the microwave oven and the receiver are on
different branch circuits.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or
TV interference caused by unauthorized
modification to this microwave oven. It is the
responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO FREQUENCY
INTERFERENCE STATEMENT ( U.S.A. ONLY)

SAFETY

• 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 attempt home canning in your

jars. These items may explode.

• Do not cover or block any openings in the oven.

• Use your oven only for the operations described in

this manual.

• Do not run the oven empty, without food in it.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

• Preserve the oven floor:

- Do not heat the oven floor excessively.

- 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.

Please read this owner’s manual. It will tell you how
to use all the fine features of this microwave oven.

LOCATION OF MODEL NUMBER

To request service information or replacement parts,
the service center will require the complete model
number of your microwave oven. The number is on the
oven front as shown in the illustration below.

OVEN SPECIFICATIONS

Output Power 1,000W (IEC 60 705)
Outer Dimensions 29-15/16” x 16-7/16” x 15-5/8”
Cavity Volume 1.9 Cu.ft
Net Weight 60 lbs.

ELECTRICAL RATING

* Electrical Rating of the Oven: 120V AC, 60Hz
* 13 Amp./ 1,500W (MWO + Cooktop Lamp +

Ventilation Fan)

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The oven is designed to operate on a Standard
120V/60Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at
least 15A or 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.

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 you use 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.

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.

Ensure proper ground

exists before use
