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 (7.6 cm) of space on both sides of the oven and 1-inch (2.5 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.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person 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 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.
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.
•plug into properly installed and grounded 3 prong outlet.
•Do noT remove ground prong.
•Do noT use an adapter.

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. Do not let cord hang over edge of a table or counter.
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 counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. 
wiring requirements
The oven must be operated 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 cir-
cuit breaker may trip. |

Safety precautions
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 / STerILIZIng / DryIng fooDS / SmaLL quanTITIeS of fooDS
•Do noT use your oven for home canning. Your 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

3) Deep faT fryIng
• Do noT deep fat fry in your microwave 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 is safe.
•potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous 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) gLaSS Tray / cooKIng conTaInerS / foIL
•Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. heat is transferred from the hOT food to the container and the Glass Tray. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking containers, to avoid burns.
•The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for microwave cooking.
•When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.
•Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur.
