Precautions

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

1. DO NOT attempt to operate the microwave 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 door safety interlocks.

2. DO NOT place any object between the microwave oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on the sealing surfaces.

3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the microwave oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

4. The microwave oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualiﬁ ed service personnel.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the 3-prong grounding plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The microwave oven is equipped with a power cord consisting of a grounding wire with a 3-prong grounding plug. The 3-prong plug must be plugged into a

3-prong outlet receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug and/or outlet can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualiﬁ ed electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, or either:

• 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.

• If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualiﬁ ed electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance, or DO NOT use an extension cord.

WARNING: DO NOT cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, electrical shock, and/or injury to persons, basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Read and follow the speciﬁ c “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” section found on pg. 4.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See the “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” section found on pg. 5.

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

5. Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers (e.g. closed glass jar), are able to explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

6. Use the microwave only for its intended use as described in the user guide. DO NOT use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave. This type of oven is speciﬁ cally designed to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children or incapacitated persons.

8. DO NOT operate the microwave if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped in any manner.

9. The microwave should be serviced only by a qualiﬁ ed service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

10. DO NOT cover or block any openings on the appliance.

11. DO NOT store the microwave outdoors. DO NOT use the microwave near water (e.g. near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations).

12. DO NOT immerse the power cord or plug in water.

13. Keep the cord away from all heated surfaces.

14. DO NOT let the power cord hang over the edge of the tabletop or the countertop.

15. When the cleaning surfaces of the door and the oven frame come together upon closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

16. To reduce the risk of ﬁ re in the oven cavity:

a) DO NOT overcook any food. Carefully attend to the microwave 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 into the oven.

c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven OFF, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the fuse or the 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 due to surface tension of the liquid. 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 A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

a) DO NOT overheat the liquid.

b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating.

c) DO NOT use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

18. DO NOT use the microwave oven to heat corrosive chemicals (e.g. sulﬁ des and chlorides). Vapors from such corrosive chemicals may interact with the contact and springs of the safety interlock switches, thereby rendering them inoperable.

19. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke, or even catch ﬁ re when next using the oven.

20. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature, and doing so may lead to overheating and ﬁ re.

21. DO NOT operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.

Installation

1. Examine the microwave oven after unpacking. Check for damages such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity. If any damage is found, DO NOT install, and notify your dealer immediately.

2. Install the microwave oven on a ﬂ at, level surface.

3. Check the ventilation. DO NOT block the air vents. If the air vents are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually fail. For proper ventilation, allow 4 inches (10.16 cm) of space between the oven top, sides, rear, and adjacent surfaces.

4. Install the microwave oven away from the radio and TV sets. Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna, feeder, etc. Place the oven as far from them as possible.

5. Install the microwave oven away from heating appliances and water taps. Keep the oven away from heat, steam, or splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect the wiring and electrical conduction contacts of the microwave oven.

6. Check the power supply.

a) Check your local power source. The microwave oven requires a current of approximately 12 Amperes, 120 Volts, and a 60 Hz grounded outlet.

b) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

c) Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

d) If a longer cord or extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at the very least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance.

• The extension cord must be a grounding type, 3-wire cord.

• A 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 unintentionally.

e) The power supply cord is a 3-prong grounding plug. When using a grounding adaptor, ensure the receptacle box is fully grounded. See the below diagram.

Control Panel

a. LED Display:

When power is ﬁ rst supplied to the microwave oven, “0:00” will appear on the display. If the “0:00” appears on the display at any other time, a power failure has occurred. Reset the clock if needed. See the “Clock” section on pg. 12. When the microwave oven is in use, the display shows the remaining cooking time. When the microwave oven is not in use, the display shows the time of day (if the clock is set) or the Kitchen Timer countdown.

b. Start/+30SEC:

Pressing the START/+30SEC button operates any function. If cooking is paused by pressing the STOP/CANCEL button or by opening the door, then pressing the START/+30SEC button will resume the cycle. Pressing the START/+30SEC button automatically operates the microwave at 100% cooking power for 30 seconds. Each additional use of the START/+30SEC button adds 30-second increments to the cooking time for any cooking cycle.

c. Stop/Cancel:

When cooking, pressing the STOP/CANCEL button once or opening the door pauses the cooking cycle; closing the door and pressing the START/+30SEC button resumes the paused cycle. Pressing the STOP/CANCEL button twice or pressing the button after opening the door cancels the current cooking cycle. Pressing the STOP/ CANCEL button clears any incorrect command; however, it does not clear the 12hour system clock. The STOP/CANCEL button is also used for the Child Safety Lock function. Please see the “Child Safety Lock” section on pg. 13.

d. Express Cook

Pressing the numerical keys 1 to 6 automatically operates the microwave at 100% cooking power for 1 to 6 minutes; depending on the respective value of the numerical key used.

e. Clock:

The clock is a standard 12-hour system clock (1:00-12:59). If the clock is not set, “0:00” will remain on the LED display. To set the clock:

1. The microwave oven must be in standby mode (i.e., no functions currently

operating).
