PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) 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 interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow

soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) 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: (1) door (bent),

(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly

qualified service personnel.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING-To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive

microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS
TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 1.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet.
See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on
page 3.

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

5. Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers - for example, closed glass
jars-may explode and should not be heated
in this oven.

6. Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual. Do not use
corrosive chemicals or vapors 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.

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

8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

9. This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel.
Contact nearest authorized service facility
for examination, repair or adjustment.

10. Do not cover or block any openings on the

appliance.

11. Do not 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.

12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

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

15. Either:
a) When cleaning surfaces of door and oven

that comes together on closing the door,
use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or
detergents applied with a sponge or soft
cloth , or

b) When separate cleaning instructions are

provided, See door surface cleaning
instructions on (specific page or section to
be included).

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

appliance if 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 should 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. Do not use this microwave oven to heat
corrosive chemicals (for example, sulfides and
chlorides). Vapours from such corrosive
chemicals may interact with the contact and
springs of the safety interlock switches
thereby rendering them inoperable.

18. 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 fire when next using
the oven.

19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you
cannot control the temperature and doing so
may lead to overheating and fire.

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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 an 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 followings.

• Reorient the receiving antenna of 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 microwave oven
and 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.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded, and either :
(1) 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. or

(2) Do not use an extension cord, if the power supply cord is too short,

have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

INSTALLATION

1. Examine the oven after unpacking.
Check for damage such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity.

If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify your dealer immediately.

2. Level, flat location.

Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface.

3. Ventilation.

Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause
a failure.
For proper ventilation, allow 3 inches of space between oven top, sides, rear and adjacent surfaces.

4. Away from 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. Away from heating appliances and water taps.

Keep the oven away from heat, steam or splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect oven wiring
and contacts.

6. Power supply.

This microwave oven requires a power supply of approximately 12 Amperes, 120 Volts, 60Hz
and a grounded outlet. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the user becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the oven.
The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The longer cord should be arranged
so it does not drape over the table top or counter where children can pull on it or trip over it.

7. The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm.
