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 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded.

or plastic bags before placing bag in
oven.
c. If materials inside the oven should
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.
9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea
can 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
person:
Do not overheat the liquid.
Stir the liquid both before and halfway
2
through heating it.

After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short
time before removing it.
Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the container.
10. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It
is difficult to control the temperature of
oil in a microwave oven.
11. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as
potatoes, whole squash, apples and
chestnuts before cooking.
12. The contents of feeding bottles and
baby jars should be stirred or shaken
and the temperature should be checked
in a wet basement, near a swimming

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The 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.
3
WAR NING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded.
Power Supply Cord
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 long cord or extension cord is used
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and The longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Notes:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a
qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither SANYO nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal
injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven with your radio or TV, check
that the microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocated the radio or TV as far away from
the oven as possible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
