EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE

ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since this can result in

harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to break 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 closes properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1) DOOR (bent)

(2) HINGES AND LATCHES (broken or loosened)

(3) DOOR SEALS AND SEALING SURFACE

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly

qualified service personnel.

ADDENDUM

If the apparatus is not maintained in a good state of cleanliness, its surface could

be degraded and affect the lifespan of the apparatus and lead to a dangerous

situation.

SAFETY

3

1. The oven must be on a leveled surface.

2. The turntable and turntable roller rest must be in the oven during cooking. Place the

cookware gently on the turntable and handle it carefully to avoid possible breakage.

3. Incorrect use of browning dish may cause the turntable to break.

4. Use only the specified bag size when using Direct Access Popcorn.

5. The oven has several built-in safety switches to ensure that the power remains off when

the door is open. Do not tamper with these switches.

6. Do not operate the microwave oven empty. Operating the oven with no food or food that

is extremely low in moisture can cause fire, charring or sparking.

7. Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable. Excessive local heating of the turntable

may cause the turntable to break.

8. Do not heat baby bottles or baby food in the microwave oven. Uneven heating

may occur and could cause physical injury.

9. Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such as syrup bottles.

10. Do not attempt to deep-fry in your microwave oven.

1

1. Do not attempt home canning in this microwave oven, as it is impossible to be sure all

contents of the jar have reached boiling temperature.

12. Do not use this microwave oven for commercial purpose. This microwave oven is made

for household use only.

13. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of hot liquids and beverages or scalding yourself,

stir liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through cooking

time. Let stand in the oven for a short time and stir again before removing the container.

14. Use carefully when cooking food in the microwave oven to avoid burning due to

excessive cooking.

15. When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children should only use the

oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures generated.

16. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration that could

adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

4

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons
or exposure to excessive microwave oven energy when
using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the
appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific: "PRECAU-

TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY"
on page 2.

3. As with most cooking appliances, close
supervision is necessary to reduce the risk
of a fire in the oven cavity.

If materials inside the oven ignite:

1. Keep the oven door closed.

2. Turn the oven off, and unplug the
appliance.

3. Disconnect the power cord, shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

4. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
the appliance when paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

5. Do not use the oven cavity for storage
purposes. Do not store combustible
items such as bread, cookies, paper
products, etc. inside the oven.

6. Remove wire twist-ties and metal
handles from paper or plastic
containers/bags before placing them in
the oven.

7. This oven must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See

"GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" on
page 5.

8. Install or locate this oven only in
accordance with the installation
instructions provided.

9. Some products such as whole eggs,
water with oil or fat, sealed to explode
and therefore should not be heated in
this oven.

10. Use this appliance only for its intended
uses as described in this manual. Do
not use corrosive chemicals or vapors
in this appliance. This oven is
specifically designed to heat or cook
food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.

11. As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when used
by children.

12. Do not operate this oven if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly or if it has been
damaged or dropped.

13. This appliance should be serviced only
by qualified service technicians.
Contact the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair or
adjustment.

14. Do not cover or block any vents on the
oven.

15. Do not store or use this appliance
outdoors.

16. Do not use this oven near water, for
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, or
similar locations.

17. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

18. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

19. Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter.

20. When cleaning door and oven
surfaces use only mild, nonabrasive
soaps or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth.

21. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point

5

without appearing 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 OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

i) Do not overheat the liquid.
ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
iii) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
iv) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time
before removing the container.
v) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

To Reduce the Risk of Injury to Persons

GROUNDING INSTALLATION

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal
components can cause serious
personal injury or death. Do not
disassemble this appliance.

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding
can result in electric shock. Do
not plug into an outlet until
appliance is properly installed
and grounded.

Three-pronged

(grounding) plug

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 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 serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-pronged 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.

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 cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.

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

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.

2) The extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord.

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

UTENSILS

CAUTION

Personal Injury Hazard

Tightly-closed utensils
could explode. Closed
containers should be opened
and plastic pouches should be
pierced before cooking.
