IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend oven
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. DO NOT
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
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 LIQ-
UIDS 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.
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
1. DO NOT deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and be hazardous to handle.
2. DO NOT cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4. DO NOT leave oven unattended.
5. DO NOT use regular cooking thermometers in oven when cooking in microwave or combination mode. Most cooking thermometers contain mer­cury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven.
6. DO NOT use metal utensils in oven except when recommended by microwave food manufacturers or recipe requires metal utensils in convection or combination mode. Heat food in containers made of glass or china if possible.
7. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking. If oven temperature is high, material may ignite.
8. Oven temperature is at least 100° F in convection mode. Verify plastic, paper or other combustible materials are recommended by the manufacturer to withstand the minimum oven temperature.
9. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other com­bustible materials, follow manufacturer's recom­mendations on product use.
10. DO NOT use paper towels which contain nylon or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.
11. DO NOT heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before heating.
12. Racks, utensils, rack guides, and oven surfaces may become hot during or after use. Use utensils or protective clothing, like pan grips or dry oven mitts, when necessary to avoid burns.
13. DO NOT unplug oven immediately after use. Internal fan must cool oven to avoid damage of electrical components.
14. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physi­cian or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.

Unpacking Oven
• Inspect oven for damage such as dents in door or inside oven cavity.
• Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately.
Do not attempt to use oven if damaged.
• Remove all materials from oven interior.
• If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a few hours before connecting power.
Radio Interference
Microwave operation may cause interference to radio, television, or a similar oven. Reduce or eliminate interference by doing the following:
• Clean door and sealing surfaces of oven according to instructions in Care and Cleaning section.
• Place radio, television, etc. as far as possible from oven.
• Use a properly installed antenna on radio, television, etc. to obtain stronger signal reception.
Oven Placement
• Do not install oven next to or above source of heat, such as pizza oven or deep fat fryer. This could cause microwave oven to operate improperly and could shorten life of electrical parts.
• Allow enough room for air movement around oven.
• Install oven on level countertop surface.
• Outlet should be located so that plug is accessible when oven is in place.
Installation
Grounding Instructions
Oven MUST be grounded.
Grounding re­duces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current if an electrical short occurs. This oven 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.
Consult a qualified electrician or ser­vicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is prop­erly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in specifications table. When the combination oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.
Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-120V.
Built-In Capability

Oven Clearances
A—Allow at least 4” of clearance around top and sides of oven. Proper air flow
around oven cools electrical components. With restricted air flow, oven may not operate properly and life of electrical parts is reduced.
B—Install combination oven so oven bottom is at least 3 feet (36 inches)
above floor.
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered.
