PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
SAVE THESE 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 4.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and containers-for example sealed closed glass jars-are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended in this manual. 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.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. 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

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

USING AN ADAPTER
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if the still elect to use an adapter, where local codes may permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL/CSA listed adapter, which is available at most hardware stores.
GENERAL USE
DO NOT attempt to tamper with or make any adjustment or repair to door, control panel or any other part of the oven. DO NOT remove outer case from oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service person.
If a fire occurs in the oven, turn the TIMER KNOB to the “0” position LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
DO NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will be reflected continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.
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 and/or fires when used.
DO NOT hit or strike the control panel, damage to controls may occur.
AVOID inserting nails, wire, etc. through any holes in the unit while operating the oven. Never insert a wire, nails or any other metal object through the holes on the cavity or any other holes or gaps because such objects may cause electric shock and microwave leakage.
UTENSILS
METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.
METAL TWIST-TIE must not be used in the microwave oven.
DO NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK bottles for cooking or reheating. They may shatter.
DO NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the microwave oven. They may cause arcing.
Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before cooking or defrosting in the oven.
For FURTHER INFORMATION on proper cooking utensils, refer to the Introduction in the Microwave cooking guide.
FOOD
Never use your microwave oven for HOME CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit proper canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consumer.
COOKING TIMES given in the cooking guide are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking are: starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of foods and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.
