PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROW AVE 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:
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 1.
13. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only
to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 3.
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. (Page 17)
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance 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 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.

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.
