SAFETY

• 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 interlock.

• 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.

• Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

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

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY ...

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. This appliance is equipped with a cord having 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 or the Service Department if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the appliance is properly grounded.

This appliance has a short power supply cord to reduce the risk of anyone’s tripping over or becoming entangled in the cord. You may use an extension cord if you are careful.

If you use an extension cord, be sure that:

NOTE: This oven draws 11.5 amperes at 120 Volts, 60 Hz.

• The extension cord has the same electrical rating as the appliance.

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

• The extension cord is a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

• The extension cord does not drape over a countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

• The electrical cord is dry and not pinched or crushed in any way.

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

a. Do not over cook 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.

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 overheat-

ed. 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.

NOTES:

• Never place the turntable in the oven upside down.

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.
