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 accumulate on sealing surfaces.

closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) DOOR (bent)

(2) HINGES AND LATCHES (broken or loosened) (3) DOOR SEALS AND SEALING SURFACES

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service

personnel.

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.

Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on the

previous page.

3. As with most cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a fire in the oven cavity.

If a fire should start:

• 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:

Do not overcook foods. Carefully attend the appliance if paper, plastic, or other combustible

materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

Do not use the 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. Do not use wire twist-ties in the oven. Be sure

to inspect purchased items for wire twist-ties and remove before placing them in the oven.

Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -- for example water with oil or fat

and closed glass jars-- may explode and

therefore should not be heated in this oven.

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the 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.

As with any appliance, close supervision is

necessary when used by children.

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, and the like.

14.

Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

4. This oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS" on page 2.

5. Install or locate this oven only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

15.

Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

16.

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

17.

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.

(See "Cleaning" instructions on page 29.)

_k DANGER - Electric Shock Hazard

Do not disassemble this appliance. Touching some of the internal components, even if the appliance is unplugged, can result in electric

shock that can cause serious personal injury or death.

This appliance must be grounded. If there is 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.

Properly polarized and grounded outlet

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding

instructions are not completely understood as to

whether the appliance is properly grounded.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over

a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used

with following precautions:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be equal to or higher than the electrical rating of the appliance.

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

• Longer cord should be arranged so that it will

not drape over the countertop or tabletop

where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

over accidentally.

The electrical power cord must be kept dry and

must not be pinched or crushed in any way.

_ WARNING - Electric Shock Hazard

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in electric shock.

Cooking "lips:

• Cover food with plastic wrap, wax paper or well-fit casserole lid. Loose-fitting covers may cause the oven to miscalculate cooking time.

(Never use tightly sealed plastic containers.)

Small quantities of foods (less than 4 oz or 115 g) should not be cooked using Auto Sensor. Cook using -Iqme cooking.

• The room temperature should be below 95°F (35°C).

Keep the inside of oven, the turntable and the outside of

cooking containers dry. Wipe off all spillovers. Excessive humidity in the oven may result in an incorrect cooking time.

Do not open the oven door while the display still shows

the selected course number at the beginning of cooking.

During this period, the oven sensor measures the amount

of steam in the oven to determine the cooking time, which appears in the display

when the process has completed.

This basic microwave cooking

method allows you to cook food for a desired time. In addition to

the 141(maximum) power level,

you can select different microwave power from 9 levels,

1 (10% of HI power level) to 9

(90% of HI power level) for the foods that require slower cooking. The oven also provides

power level 0 (no power) so that

the clock can be utilized as a

minute timer. See page 13 for

details.

Foods with high moisture

content should be cooked on

maximum power, as this is the

fastest cooking method and best

maintains the natural flavor and

texture of the foods.

To check the power level during

cooking, touch POWER LEVEL. The power level appears in the display window.
