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:
1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY."
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded
outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS."
4. Install this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers (e.g. closed glass
jars) may explode and should not be heated in this oven.
6. 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 foods. It is not designed
for industrial or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessar y when used
by children.
8. Only qualified service personnel should ser vice this appliance. Contact the
nearest authorized service center for repair or adjustment.
9. Do not cover or block any air vents on this appliance.
10. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near
water. (e. g. near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool).
11. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
12. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
13. Do not let cord hang over edge of a table or counter.
14. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together when closing
the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents apply with a
sponge or soft cloth.
15. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

products, cooking utensils or food in the oven cavity when not in use.
16) Liquids, such as water, cof fee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appreaing to be boiling. 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
OVEN WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTRIBUTED OR 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.

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. Do not
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.

Arcing is the microwave term that is defined as "Sparks in the Oven."
Arcing is caused:
• If metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-rimmed dishes
are being used in the microwave when microwave oven is in use.
• If recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces are being
used in the microwave.
• If foil paper is in the oven while oven is in use.
• Cooking times given in the cooking guide are approximate. Factors that may
affect cooking are starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of food
and container used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to
adjust for these factors.
• Do not boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.
• Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and whole acorn squash are examples of
food with "NONPOROUS SKINS." These must be pierced before cooking to
prevent bursting.
• Popcorn must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped
corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping. Do not use oven for
popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn container or unless
it’s commercially packaged and recommended for microwave ovens. Do not use
oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
• Do not attempt to deep fry in your oven.
• DO NOT heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.

What is Safe Plug™ Technology?
In MicroFridge® combination appliances, Safe Plug™ technology utilizes
patented, internal current-limiting circuitry that temporarily shuts off the
refrigerator or refrigerator/freezer when the microwave is in use. When
the microwave is finished, power to the refrigerator or refrigerator/freezer
resumes. Our combination appliances never draw more than 10 - 12
amps and are specifically manufactured to reduce potential fire hazards
that are caused by overloaded electrical circuits.
In a MicroFridge® combination appliance with Safe Plug™ technology,
the refrigerator or refrigerator/freezer plugs into the back of the
microwave, and the microwave plugs into the wall. This one-plug-to-thewall operation conserves electricity and frees up wall outlets. Most
importantly, it allows our combination units to be used safely, without
special wiring, even in older buildings.

Installing Microwave Oven
Unpacking Microwave Oven
1) Unpack the oven, remove all packing material, and examine the oven
for any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the
door. Notify the dealer immediately if the unit is damaged. Do Not
install if the unit is damaged.
2) Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials
before powering on the microwave oven.
Assembly Instructions
Remove all packaging material and accessories. Examine the oven for any damage,
such as dents or broken door. Do not install if oven is damaged.
1. Place the oven on top of the approved MicroFridge® refrigerator carefully lining
up screw holes of the refrigerator sash with microwave side holes.
• Do not block the inlet and outlet openings located at the rear and bottom of
the oven.
• Do not remove the feet from the bottom of the oven.
• Blocking the inlet and/or outlet openings can damage the oven.
• The cabinet is covered with a protective film, remove the film to fully show the
intended color and finish.
2. Attach the microwave oven to the refrigerator by screwing in the 4 four side and
1 rear srews.
• Six screws can be found in the attached bag.
3. Plug refrigerator into the socket provided in the
rear of the microwave oven.
• The socket is intended for use with approved
MicroFridge® refrigerators. Use of this
socket for other appliances may be
hazardous.
• Model Number for approved MicroFridge®
refrigerator is located on the label on the
rear of the microwave oven.
4. Plug your oven into a standard 120-volt/60Hz
household outlet. Be sure the elctrical circuit is
at least 15 amperes and that your microwave
oven is the only appliance on the circuit.
The MicroFridge® combination appliance will now operate without exceeding ten
(10) amps of current draw.
Note: If your oven does not operate properly, unplug it from the 120 volt
household outlet and then plug it back in. This unit is not designed for
50Hz or any circuit other than 120 volt/60Hz AC current.

Proper Air Circulation
• For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air-flow.
The following are recommended clearances around the oven:
Sides…………………….2" (50mm)
Top………………………1" (25mm)
Back……………………..1" (25mm)
Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115-Volt, 15 Amps Outlet)
with proper grounding to power the microwave oven.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding
prong in order to accommodate a two-plug outlet. This is a dangerous
practice since it provides no effective grounding for the microwave and
may result in shock hazard.
• The electrical power cord must be kept dr y and must not be pinched and
or crushed in any way.
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 grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
• Improper use of the plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Wiring Requirements:
• The oven must be plugged into at least 15 AMP 115-120 VOLT, 60 HZ
GROUNDED OUTLET.
Note: Where a standard two-prong
outlet is encountered, it is the
personal responsibility and
obligation of the consumer to
have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong outlet.
Extension Cords:
We do not recommend that you use an extension cord.
