16. For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.
17.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed jars - are able to
explode and should not be heated in this oven. In
rare instances, poached eggs have been known to
explode. Cover poached eggs and allow standing
time of one minute before cutting into them.
18. Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes,
sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should
be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.
“Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented.
19.Do not heat, store or use flammable materials in or
near the oven. Fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
10. 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

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, injury to persons or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:
3
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.
23. To avoid exposure to dangerous high voltage, DO
NOT REMOVE THE SPLATTER SHIELD
inside the oven cavity.
24.
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.
25. Read and follow specific microwave oven
preparation instructions on food packages or
containers (especially baby food). Above all, this
is a cooking appliance designed to prepare food.
26. Use only cooking utensils and accessories made for
use in the microwave and specifically described in
this manual.
27. Microwave oven manufacturers do not recommend
deep fat frying or frying in a microwave oven. Hot
oil can damage oven parts and utensils and even
result in skin burns.
28. Plastic wrap : Use only those types designed for
microwave oven use and avoid forming an air-tight
seal. Fold back a small corner or cut a small slit to
allow steam to escape.
29. Stay near the appliance while it is in use and check
cooking progress frequently. Leaving the appliance
unattended may reslut in overcooked food and
possibly a fire in your oven.
30. Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend
to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less
moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and
Cleaning section for insturctions on how to clean the
inside of the oven.
31. Do not use a thermometer in food you are
microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or
recommended for use in the microwave oven.
32. Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is
very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or char if subjected to
short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to
overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.
For these reasons:1) Use microwave-safe plastics
only and use them in strict compliance with the
cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do
not subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do
not permit children to use plastic cookware without
complete supervision.
33. Do not store anythig directly on top of the
microwave oven surface when the oven is in
operation.
34. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less
than 3/4” deep; remove top foil cover and return tray
to box. When using metal in microwave oven, keep
metal at least 1 inch away from the sides of the
oven.
35. Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked
bottles.
36. Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be
needed to handle the cookware.
37. Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin
wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it
allows microwaves to pass through it.
38. Never use sharp-edged utensils in or near the oven.
39. Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful
when opening containers of hot food, including
popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To
prevent possible injury, direct steam away from
hands and face.
40. Clean the vent hood often. Do not allow grease to
build up on the hood or the filter.
41. Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter.
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven
cleaners, may damage the filter.
42. When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the
fan off. The fan, if operating may spread the flame.

Installation Recommendations
Cooking appliances installed under the microwave oven
may, under some heavy usage conditions, cause
temperatures high enough to overheat some internal
parts of the microwave oven.
To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust
fan is designed to automatically turn on at a low speed if
excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the
fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will
automatically turn off when the internal parts have
cooled. The fan may stay on for up to an hour after the
range and microwave oven controls have been turned
off.
◆
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave
oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass cooking
dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china
dinnerware, which does not have metallic trim or
glaze with metallic sheen, can be used.
◆
If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use
this test: Place in the oven the dish you are testing and
a glass measuring cup filled with one cup of water.
Set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it
should not be used for microwaving. If the dish
remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then
the dish is microwave-safe.
◆Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be
used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and
prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so
steam can escape.
Remove all packing materials both outside and inside the
oven before using the oven. The oven requires free
movement of air for proper operation. Do NOT block air
vents located by the top air grill and underneath the oven.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into a 120v, 15amp. outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Where standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is your personal reponsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
Do not under any circumstance cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use
an adapter plug with this appliance. See pages 1 and
2 of the Installation Manual for acceptable extension
cord specifications.
Interference Note
Microwave ovens generate radio frequency energy
during operation and if not installed properly may
cause interference to radio and television reception.
You can determine if this unit is causing interference
by turning it on and off while the interference is
occurring. If interference occurs, it may be corrected
by one or more of the following measures:
◆clean door and seal surfaces of the oven;
◆reorient the television or radio receiving antenna;
◆the oven with respect to the television or radio
receiver, and/or
◆
Plug the oven into a different oulet so that it and the
television or radio receiver are on different circuits.
If the interference persists, you may want to consult
an experienced radio/television technician for
additional
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
