Before operating this oven, please read these instructions completely.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in

harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to

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:

11. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

12. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO

AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 1.

13. This appliance must be grounded. Connect

only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page

14. Install or locate this appliance only in accor-

dance with the provided installation instructions.

15. 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.

16. Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this 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.

17. As with any appliance, close supervision is

necessary when used by children.

18. 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.

19. 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.

11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water — for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar locations.

12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

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

counter.

15. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance

when paper, plastic, or other com-bustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags

before placing bag in oven.

c) If materials inside 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.

d) 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. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides). Vapours from such corrosive chemicals may interact with the contact and springs of the safety interlock switches thereby rendering them inoperable.

18. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.

Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you

cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.

20. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated 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 oven 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. 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. 4 After heating, allow the container to stand in the

microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

5 Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil

into the container.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (U.S.A ONLY)

WARNING:

This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type-tested and found to comply with limits for an ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the followings.

• Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.

• Relocate the Microwave oven with respect to the receiver.

• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

• Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

THE MANUFACTURER is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for 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.

• Do not use an extension cord, if the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or

serviceman install a three slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a seperate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating. When a microwave oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.

WARNING: Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

INSTALLATION

Examine the oven after unpacking.

Check for damage such as a misaligned door,

broken door or dent in the cavity. If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify your dealer immediately.

Level, flat location.

Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface.

Ventilation.

Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during

operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause a failure. For proper ventilation, allow 4 inches of space between oven top, sides, rear and adjacent surfaces.

Away from radio and TV sets.

Poor television reception and radio interference

may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna, feeder, etc. Place the oven as far from them as possible.

Away from heating appliances and water

taps.

Keep the oven away from heat, steam or splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect oven wiring and contacts.

Power supply.

• Check your local power source.

This microwave oven requires a current of approximately 14.5 amperes, 120Volts, 60Hz grounded outlet.

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:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

• The extension cord must be a grounding type 3-wire cord.

• 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.

The minimum height of free space necessary

above the top surface of the oven is 4inch.

When use 3-pronged plug When use grounding adaptor, make sure

the receptacle box is fully grounded.
