SAFETY
PROPER AND SAFE USE OF YOUR OVEN
• The oven must be on a leveled
surface.
• 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.
• Incorrect use of browning dish
may cause the turntable to
break.
• Use carefully when cooking
food in the microwave oven to
avoid burning due to excessive
cooking.
•Use only the specified bag size
when using Direct Access
Popcorn.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not cook bacon directly on
the turntable. Excessive local
heating of the turntable may
cause it to break.
• Do not remove feet from the
bottom of the oven.
• Do not heat baby bottles or
baby food in the microwave
oven. Uneven heating may
occur and could cause physical
injury.
• Do not heat narrow-necked
containers, such as syrup
bottles.
• Do not attempt to deep-fry in
your microwave oven.
• Do not do home canning in this
microwave oven as it is
impossible to be sure all
contents of the jar have
reached boiling temperature.
•Do not use this microwave
oven for commercial purposes.
This microwave oven is made
for household use only.
•To prevent 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.

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” on page 2.
3. As with most cooking appliances,
close supervision is necessary to
reduce the risk of a fire in the oven
cavity.
If materials inside the oven ignite:
• Keep the oven door closed
•Turn the oven off, and
• Disconnect the power cord or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
Keep in mind the following rules at all
times:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully
attend the appliance when paper,
plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
b. Do not use the oven cavity for storage
purposes. Do not store combustible
items such as bread, cookies, paper
products, etc. inside the oven. If
lightning strikes the power line, the
oven may turn on by itself.
c. Remove wire twist-ties and metal
handles from paper or plastic
containers/bags before placing
them in the oven.
4. This oven must be grounded.
Connect only to properly grounded
outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on
page 6.
5. Install or locate this oven only in
accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
6. Some products such as whole eggs,
water with oil or fat, sealed containers
and closed glass jars may explode
and therefore should not be heated
in this oven.
7. Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in the
manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance.
This oven is specifically designed to
heat or cook food. It is not designed
for industrial or laboratory use.
8. As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when used
by children.
9. Do not operate this oven if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
10. This appliance should be serviced
only by qualified service technicians.
Contact the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair or
adjustment.
11. Do not cover or block any vents on
the oven.
12. Do not store or use this appliance
outdoors.
13. Do not use this oven near water,
near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement
or near a swimming pool, or similar
locations.
14. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
15. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
16. Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter.
17. When cleaning door and oven surfaces
that meet when door is closed, use
only mild, nonabrasive soaps or
detergents applied with a sponge or
soft cloth. (See “Cleaning”
instructions on page 22.)
18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea
are able to be overheated 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 liquids suddenly
boiling over when the container is
disturbed or a spoon or other utensil
is inserted into the liquid.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
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.
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 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance.
•
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer cord sets or extension cords may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
•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 unintentionally.
UTENSILS
See following page for further instructions
“Materials you can use in microwave oven or
to be avoided in microwave oven.”

1. Do not use plastic containers for testing.
2. Some containers and dishware may be
warm (or hot) in only one area. Do not use a
container that becomes warm anywhere.
CAUTION
Personal Injury Hazard

could explode. Closed
containers should be
opened and plastic
pouches pierced
before cooking.

internal components
can cause serious
personal injury or
death. Do not
disassemble this
appliance.
WARNING
