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. To ensure

continued protection against shock hazard,
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.

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 (page.17).

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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, 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
porperly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding can 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.

(3) Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of

electric shock only during servicing.
Service personnel-Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is
energized:
FAN MOTOR, LOW VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER (TOUCH CONTROL TYPE),
TIMER & TIMER MOUNTING BRACKET (MECHANICAL TYPE)

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT

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 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 reponsibility of the user to

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

Level, flat location.

Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface.

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.

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.

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.

Power supply

This microwave oven requires a power supply of approximately 15 Amperes, 120 Volts, 60 Hz 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
that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally.

INSTALLATION

When use 3-pronged plug When use grounding adaptor, make

sure the receptacle box is fully
grounded.
