SAFETY

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. 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.

To Reduce the Risk of Injury to Persons
GROUNDING INSTALLATION

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard
T ouching 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.

5

UTENSILS

CAUTION

Personal Injury Hazard

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

12 inch(30cm)

3.0 inch(7.5cm)

3.0 inch(7.5cm)

A minimum clearance of 3.0 inches
(7.5cm) is required between the oven and
any adjacent walls. One side must be open.
(1) Leave a minimum clearance of 12
inches (30cm) above the oven.
(2) Do not remove the legs from the
bottom of the oven.

OPEN

Cabinet: Remove any protective film found
on the microwave oven cabinet surface.

that is attached to the oven cavity to
protect the magnetron.

(3) Blocking the intake and/or outlet openings
can damage the oven.
(4) Place the oven as far away from
radios and TV as possible.
Operation of microwave oven may

reception.

2. Plug your oven into a standard household
outlet. Be sure the voltage and the
frequency is the same as the voltage
and the frequency on the rating label.

WARNING: Do not install oven over a
range cooktop or other heat-producing
appliance. If installed near or over a heat
source, the oven could be damaged and
the warranty would be void.

Cleaning Instructions

Always keep the oven clean

1. Cleaning the glass viewing window, the inner door panel and oven front face.
For best performance and to maintain the high degree of safety, the inner door panel and
oven front face should be free of food or grease build-up. Wipe these parts with a mild
detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.

2. Cleaning the control panel and plastic parts.
Do not apply a detergent or an alkaline liquid spray to the control panel and plastic parts,

as this may cause damage to these parts.
Use a dry cloth (not a soaked cloth) to clean these parts.

3. Cleaning the oven interior

After use be sure to clean up spilled liquids, spattered oil and food debris as quickly as
possible. If the oven is used when dirty, efficiency drops and the dirt gets stuck on the oven
surface and may cause bad odours. Clean the interior with a cloth soaked in luke-warm
water with a mild detergent dissolved in it, then rinse the soap off with a damp cloth.

CAUTION: Do Not wipe plastic and painted sections of the oven with bleach, thinners or
other cleaning agents, as this may cause these parts to dissolve or change sharp.
