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 electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire and 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.

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove the third (grounding) prong. Do not use an adaptor or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.

• Consult a qualiﬁed electrician or service person if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

• We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the power-supply cord is too short, have a qualiﬁed electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance. However, if it is necessary to use an extension cord, read and follow the “Use of Extension Cords” section below.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of your becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and you can use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or extension cord:

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 it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.

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. If you use an extension cord, the interior light may ﬂicker and the speed of the blower may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer too.

CRITICAL

WARNING

INSTALLATION WARNINGS

This appliance must be installed by a qualiﬁed technician or service company.

• Failing to have a qualiﬁed technician install the oven may result in electric shock, ﬁre, an explosion, problems with the product, or injury.

Unpack the oven, remove all packaging material and examine the oven for any damage such as dents on the interior or exterior of the oven, broken door latches, cracks in the door, or a door that is not lined up correctly. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and notify your dealer immediately.

Remove all foreign substances such as dust or water from the power plug terminals and contact points using a dry cloth on a regular basis.

• Unplug the power plug and clean it with a dry cloth.

• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or ﬁre.

Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 3 pronged outlet. Your oven should be the only appliance connected to this circuit.

• Sharing a wall socket with other appliances, using a power strip, or extending the power cord may result in electric shock or ﬁre.

• Do not use an electric transformer. It may result in electric shock or ﬁre.

• Ensure that the voltage, frequency and current provided match the product’s speciﬁcations. Failing to do so may result in electric shock or ﬁre.

Keep all packaging materials out of the reach of children. Children may use them for play.

This appliance must be properly grounded. Read and follow the speciﬁc “Grounding instructions” found in the beginning of this Section. Do not ground the appliance to a gas pipe, plastic water pipe, or telephone line.

• This may result in electric shock, ﬁre, an explosion, or problems with the product

• Never plug the power cord into a socket that is not grounded correctly and make sure that it is in accordance with local and national codes.

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

Connect the oven to a 20A circuit. If you connect the oven to a 15A circuit, make sure that circuit breaker is operable.

Do not install this appliance in a humid, oily, or dusty location, or in a location exposed to direct sunlight or water (rain drops).

• This may result in electric shock or ﬁre.

Plug the power plug into the wall socket ﬁrmly. Do not use a damaged power plug, damaged power cord, or loose wall socket.

CRITICAL USAGE

WARNING

WARNINGS

If the microwave appliance is ﬂooded please contact your nearest service center : Failing to do so may result in electric shock or ﬁre.

Read and follow the speciﬁc “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy”, found in the beginning of this Section.

If the microwave generates a strange noise, a burning smell, or smoke, unplug it immediately and contact your nearest service center.

• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or ﬁre.

In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.), ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch the microwave, power cord, or plug.

In the event of a grease ﬁre on the surface units below the oven, smother the ﬂaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a ﬂat tray.

Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended at high heat settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven o, and disconnect the power cord, or shut o power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the ﬁre may spread.

cookware guide

For food to cook in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food without being reﬂected or absorbed by the dish.

It is important to choose the correct cookware, therefore, look for cookware that is marked microwave-safe.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates if and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS

If you are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe, you can perform the following simple test:

1. Place 1 cup of water (in a glass-measuring cup) inside

your oven next to the item to be tested.

2. Press the Add 30 sec button twice to heat them both

for one minute at high power.

After one minute, the water should be warm and the item you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwavesafe.
