PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to
excessive microwave energy, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:
WARNING: TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, ALWAYS MAKE
SURE THE PRODUCT IS UNPLUGGED FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET
BEFORE ASSEMBLING, DISASSEMBLING, RELOCATING, SERVICING OR
CLEANING
1. Read and follow the “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive
Microwave Energy” on p. 4.
2. The microwave must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlets.
See p. 6 for grounding instructions.
3. Install or place this microwave only in accordance with the installation
instructions.
4. Some produce, such as whole eggs, and sealed containers and closed jars are
able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
5. This microwave is intended for use only as described in this manual. Do NOT
use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this microwave. This type of microwave is
specifically designed to heat, cook or dry foods. It is not designed for laboratory
use.
6. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do NOT overcook food. Carefully attend to the microwave when paper,
plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the microwave to
facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags before placing in
microwave.
c. If materials inside the microwave should ignite, keep microwave door
closed, turn it off, and disconnect the power cord or turn off the power
fuse at the circuit breaker panel.
d. Do NOT use the microwave cavity for storage purposes.
e. Do NOT leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when

Important Safeguards (cont’d)
10. Water, coffee or tea may overheat 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 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.
a. Do NOT overheat the liquid
b. Stir the liquid both before AND halfway through heating
c. Do NOT use straight-sided containers with narrow necks
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave a short time
before removing
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the
container
11. The contents of heating containers should be stirred or shaken and the
temperature should be checked before serving to avoid burns.
12. Cooking utensils may become hot from heat transferred from the heated food.
Potholders may be needed to handle the utensils.
13. Do NOT cover or block any openings on the microwave.
14. Do NOT store this microwave outdoors.
15. Do NOT use this microwave near water (like in a kitchen sink, near a swimming
pool, in a wet basement or a similar location).
16. Do NOT operate this microwave if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
17. Do NOT immerse the cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces. Do NOT let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.

to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
2. Do NOT place any objects between the microwave front face and the door, or
allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3. Do NOT operate the microwave if damaged. It is particularly important that the
microwave door be properly closed and there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent),
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The microwave should NOT be adjusted or repaired by anyone. Contact customer
service for replacement or returns.

1. Make sure all packing materials are removed from inside the microwave door.
2. Check the microwave for damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged

dents inside the cavity or door.
3. This microwave must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and
the heaviest food likely to be cooked inside.
4. Do NOT place the oven where heat, moisture or high humidity is generated. Do

6. Do NOT cover or block any openings on the microwave. Do NOT remove
microwave feet. Do NOT operate the oven without the glass tray, roller support
and shaft in their proper positions.

unplugged in an emergency.
