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:
11. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
12. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 2.
13. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 4.
14. Install or locate this appliance only in accor-dance
with the provided installation instructions.
15. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed glass jars-are able
to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
16. 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.
17. As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
18. 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.
19. 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, or similar locations.
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. 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.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when
paper, plastic, or other com-bustible 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. 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.
20. 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 it
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.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
STATEMENT (U.S.A ONLY)
GROUNDING INSTR UCTIONS
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
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING:
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly,
that is in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions, may cause interference to radio
and television reception.
It has been type tested and found to comply with limits for an SM equipment pursuant to part 18 of
FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a
residential installation.
However, there’s 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 following:
• Re-orient 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 the 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
WARNING:
Improper 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 an extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. Tine 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 mis-aligned door, broken door or a 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, 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 15 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 tabletop or counter where children can
pull on it or trip over it.

USE YOUR MICR OWAVE OVEN SAFELY
GENERAL USE
Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue to build up on the
sealing surfaces. Wipe with mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
Do not subject the oven door strain or weight such as a child hanging on an open door. This could cause
the oven to fall forward resulting in injury to you and damage to the oven.
Do not operate the oven if door sears or seals surfaces are damaged or if door is bent; or if hinges are
loose or broken.
Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the oven.
Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven they may catch on fire.
Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities, which may cause sparks or fires.
Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects. This can damage the oven.
FOOD
Never use your microwave oven for home canning. The oven is not designed for proper home canning.
Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather than overcook foods.
Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be
done.
Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or
catch on fire.
Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins. These must be
pierced before heating
