Installation & Grounding Instructions

Examine Your Oven

Unpack oven, remove all packing material and examine the oven for any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify dealer immediately if oven is damaged.

DO NOT install if oven is damaged.

Placement of Oven

1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the counter top edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 3-inches (7.5 cm) of space on both sides of the oven and 6-inches (15 cm) of space on top of the oven. (a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked

during operation, the oven may be overheated and damaged.

(b) DO NOT place oven near a hot, damp surface

such as a gas or electric range, or dishwasher.

excessive.

2. This oven is manufactured for household use only. It is not approved or tested for mobile vehicle, marine, or commercial use.

3. This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if desired, by using the proper trim kit, which may be purchased from a local dealer. Follow all installation instructions packed with kit. (Trim Kit Model No.  see page 30)

CAUTION:

In the built-in application, air from the top of the trim kit's exhaust duct is very hot. Heat transfer may damage or change the color of the kitchen cabinet. Place the oven at least 4-inches (10 cm) away from the kitchen cabinet.

Power Supply

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, and (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 accidentally.

Wiring Requirements

1. The oven must be on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No other appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse may blow or the circuit breaker may trip, or the food may cook slower than recommended in this manual.

2. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven (120 V). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking. Our company is NOT responsible for damage resulting from the use of the oven with other than specified voltage.

3. The oven must be plugged into at least a 20 AMP, 120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET. 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.

Before Operation

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 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 it is uncertain whether the appliance is properly grounded or not. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three-prong polarized grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to, or greater than, the electrical rating of the appliance.

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: a. Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven

(See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on page 26)

b. Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the

microwave oven as far as possible.

c. Use a properly installed antenna to obtain

stronger signal reception.

Fan Motor Operation

After using the oven, the fan rotates to cool the electric components. This is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates.

Practical Hints

Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven

IMPORTANT Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended but cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result.

1) HOME CANNING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOODS



DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your

Before Operation

oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food may be contaminated and then spoil.



DO NOT use the microwave oven to sterilize

objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.



DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in

your oven. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.

2) POPCORN

Popcorn must be popped in a microwave oven corn popper. Microwave popcorn which pops in its own package is also available. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable for the cooking power of your microwave oven.

CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you can follow recommended package instructions or use the Popcorn Button (refer to page 18). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening, always open the bag away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.

3) DEEP FAT FRYING



DO NOT deep fat fry in your oven. Cooking oils

may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.

4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS



DO NOT COOK/REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH

OR WITHOUT THE SHELL. Steam buildup in

whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs are safe.



Potatoes, apples, whole squash, chicken wing

and sausages are examples of foods with non-

porous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent them from exploding. CAUTION: Cooking dry or old potatoes can cause fire.

5) CERAMIC TRAY / COOKING UTENSILS / FOIL



Cooking containers get hot during cooking. Use

potholders when removing containers and Ceramic Tray from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking containers, to avoid burns.



Ceramic Tray will get hot during cooking. It should

be allowed to cool before handling or before placing paper products, such as paper plates, napkins or microwave popcorn bags, in the oven for microwave cooking.



During cooking, heat is transferred from the hot

food to the cooking container and from the container to Ceramic Tray. Ceramic Tray can be very hot after removing cooking containers from oven.



When using foil, skewers, warming rack or

utensils made of metal in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between metal material and interior oven walls. If arcing occurs (sparking) remove metal material (skewers etc.) and/or transfer to a non-metallic container.



Dishes with metallic trim should not be used

during Microwave or Combination cooking, arcing may occur.

6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS



DO NOT use paper towels or cloths which

contain a synthetic fiber woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.



DO NOT use paper bags or recycled paper

products in the microwave oven.

Practical Hints (continued)

7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS



Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed
