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 4.

14. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance

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, 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 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. 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.

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

19. 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.

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

21.

Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in

place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating
base.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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:

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.

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.

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 4 inches (10.16 cm) 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.

• Check your local power source.

This microwave oven requires a current of approximately 12 amperes, 120Volts, 60Hz grounded outlet.

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical

rating of the appliance.

• 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.

7. The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is about 4 inches (10.16 cm).
