The

oven

must

be

level.

The

turntable

and

turntable

roller

rest

must

be

in

the

oven

during

cooking.

Place

the

cookware

gently

on

the

turntable

and

handle

it

carefully

to

avoid

possible

breakage.

When

a

browning

dish

is

used,

its

bottom

must

be

at

least

3/16"

above

the

turntable.

Carefully

read

and

follow

the

instructions

that

accompany

the

browning

dish.

Incorrect

usage

may

cause

the

turntable

to

break.

The

oven

has

several

built-in

safety

switches

to

make

sure

the

power

remains

off

when

the

door

is

open.

Do

not

tamper

with

these

switches.

Do

not

operate

the

oven

empty.

Use

only

the

proper

popcorn

bag

size

when

using

Popcorn

feature.

When

heating

packaged

microwave

foods,

always

place

them

on a

microwave-safe

dish.

For

example,

microwave

french

fries.

Do

not

cook

bacon

directly

on

the

turntable.

Do

not

heat

baby

bottles

or

baby

food

in

the

microwave

oven.

Uneven

heating

may

occur

and

could

cause

personal

injury.

Do

not

heat

narrow-necked

containers,

such

as

syrup

bottles.

If

the

oven

is

dropped

or

damaged,

it

should

be

thoroughly

checked

by

a

trained

service

technician

before

it

is

operated

again.

Do

not

use

this

microwave

oven

for

commercial

purposes.

This

microwave

oven

is

made

for

household

use

only.

Do

not

deep-fat

fry

in

your

microwave.

This

is

not

a

safe

procedure

in

the

confined

cavity.

Do

not

attempt

to

do

home

canning

in

your

microwave.

It

is

impossible

to

be

sure

all

areas

of

the

jar

have

reached

boiling

temperature

for

the

proper

processing

time.

PRECAUTIONS

As

with

most

cooking

appliances,

close

supervision

is

necessary

to

other

combustibles

are

inside.

b.

DO

NOT

store

combustible

items,

such

as

bread,

cookies,

etc.,

inside

the

lines

it

may

cause

the

oven

to

turn

ON.

b.

DO

NOT

use

wire

twist-ties

in

the

oven.

Be

sure

to

inspect

purchased

SECTION 1 - SETTING UP & GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This

appliance

must

be

grounded.

If

there

is

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

that

has

a

grounding

wire

with

a

grounding

plug.

The

plug

must

be

plugged

into

an

outlet

that

is

properly

installed

and

grounded.

Consult

a

qualified

electrician

if

in

doubt

or

if

the

grounding

instructions

are

not

completely

understood

as

to

whether

the

appliance

is

properly

grounded.

A

short

power

supply

cord

is

provided

to

reduce

the

risk

of

becoming

entangled

in

or

tripping

over

a

longer

cord.

Longer

cord

sets

or

extension

cords

may

be

used

with

the

following

precautions.

If

a

long

cord

or

extension

cord

is

used:

The

marked

electrical

rating

of

the

cord

set

or

extension

cord

should

be

equal

to

or

higher

than

the

electrical

rating

of

the

appliance.

The

extension

cord

must

be

a

grounding-type

3

wire

cord.

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.

The

electrical

power

cord

must

be

kept

dry

and

must

not

be

punched

or

crushed

in

any

way.

WARNING
