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 the appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific: “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY “ found on page 2.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded
outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 5.

4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided
installation instructions.

5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example,
closed glass jars - are able to explode and should not be heated in this
oven.

6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do
not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven
is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use.

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

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

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

10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13. Keep cord away from heated surface.

14. Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.

15. While cleaning oven surface, use only mild nonabrasive soaps, or detergent
applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

1) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic,

or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.

2) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bag before placing bag in

oven.

3) If material inside of 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.

4) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products,

cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

17. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea may overheat beyond the boiling
point 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 LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
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-blade grounded plug, and 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.

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.

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 cords are available and may be used if care is

exercised in their use.

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

1) The 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.

6

EN

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

RADIO INTERFERENCE

1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV

or similar equipment.

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the

following measures:

1) Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.

2) Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.

3) Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.

4) Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

5) Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven
are on different branch circuits.

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.

EN

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

11. 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.
