SAFETY

PROPER AND SAFE USE OF YOUR OVEN

The oven must be level.

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. See page 7.

When using the Popcorn feature of this microwave oven, use only the bag sizes specified in the instruction manual.

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 when 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 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 delayed 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.

The metal rack must be removed from the oven when the rack is not used for cooking.

Do not leave the temperature probe unplugged in the cavity when operating the oven.

Do not let the temperature probe touch the side walls, turntable or door of the cavity when in use.

Do not plug the pointed end of the temperature probe into the socket inside the cavity.

Do not use the temperature probe in a regular oven. This probe is designed for microwave oven use only.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following :

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.

4

S9000sci-safety.fm Page 5 Wednesday, September 22, 1999 2:38 PM

Keep in mind the following rules at all times:

a.Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the appliance if 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 installation instructions provided on page 9 as well as in the separate Installation Instruction booklet.

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 uses 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 SANYO 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.

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 43.)

18.Do not mount over a sink.

19.This oven is suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking equipment.

20.This oven is intended to be used above ranges with maximum width 36 inches.

21.Clean the underside of the microwave oven often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave oven or the fan filters.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard

Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble

this appliance.

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.

UTENSILS

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 that has 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 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 an outlet near the appliance.

NOTE: If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.

CAUTION

Personal Injury Hazard

Tightly-closed utensils could explode. Closed containers are opened and plastic pouches pierced before cooking.

See next page for further instructions "Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in microwave oven."

There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the utensil in question following the procedure below.

Utensil Test:

1.Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250 mL) and place it in the oven along with the utensil in question.

2.Cook on maximum power (P100) for 1 minute.

3.Carefully feel the utensil.

If the empty utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.

Do not exceed 1 minute testing time.

TURNTABLE INSTALLATION

Turntable

Roller rest

Hub (underside)

Receptacle

1.Place the roller rest on the cavity bottom.

2.Place the turntable on top of the roller rest as shown in the diagram. Make sure the turntable hub is securely locked in the receptacle.

Never place the turntable upside down. The turntable should never be restricted.

Both turntable and roller rest must always be used during cooking.

All food and containers of food must always be placed on the turntable for cooking.

The turntable returns to its original starting position when cooking is finished. The light and fan will remain on but microwave power is turned off.

The turntable rotates clockwise and counterclockwise; this is normal.

If turntable or roller rest cracks or breaks, contact your nearest authorized service center for more information regarding replacement.

CHARCOAL FILTER INSTALLATION

If the microwave oven has been installed for room venting, the air vented by the fan will be recirculated back into the room through a pair of disposable charcoal filters that help to remove smoke and odors. If these filters become excessively dirty or discolored, they should be replaced. Under normal conditions, these filters should be replaced once every 6 to 12 months.

Charcoal Filter Kit (EMA-400)

If replacement charcoal filters are not available from an authorized dealer in your area, call 1-800-263-2244 for parts ordering information. (See page 44 for more details).

1.Disconnect the power supply.

2.Insert one end of the filter into the back of the opening 1 .

3.Push it up 2 and slide it towards

you 3 until it hangs in place.

GREASE FILTER INSTALLATION

The reusable metal grease filters trap grease released by food on the cooktop. They also prevent flames from food on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the oven.

1.Disconnect the power supply.

2.Hold the filter with the ring end facing you.

3.Insert the other end into the back of the opening.

4.Slide the filter towards the front and side until it is securely in place.
