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 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS “ on page 5.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instruction on page 5.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -- for example, closed glass jars -- are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this 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.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when
paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven 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, are able to 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: a. Do not overheat the liquid. b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it. c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave
oven for a short time before removing the container.
e. 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 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 before serving in order to avoid burns.
13. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.
14. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
15. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this
product near water, for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
16. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or a
plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
17. Do not immerse cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from
heated surface. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
18. Use only thermometers that are specifically designed for use in
microwave ovens.
19. Be certain the glass tray and roller rings are in place when you
operate the oven.
20. When cleaning surfaces where the door meets the oven where
it is closed, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Installation
1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
2. WARNING: Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches, and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact qualified service personnel.
3. This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest food likely to be cooked in the oven.
4. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated, or near combustible materials.
5. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 7.9” of space above the oven, 3.9” at back and 2” at both sides. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet.
6. Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their proper positions.
7. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the oven or over any hot or sharp surface.
8. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
9. Do not use the oven outdoors.
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. WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements The oven must be plugged into at least 15 amp, 120 volts, 60 Hz grounded outlet. 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.

Extension Cord
We do not recommend the use of an extension cord. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3 blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Notes: 1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions,
consult a qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither the manufacturer 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 to your radio or TV, move the radio or TV so that it is on a different circuit than the microwave.
Utensils Guide
This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave.
RECOMMENDED
Microwave browning dish - Use to brown the exterior of small items
such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
Microwaveable plastic wrap - Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
Paper towels and napkins - Use for short-term heating and covering;
these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes - Use for heating or cooking.
Paper plates and cups - Use for short-term heating at low temperatures.
Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
Thermometers - Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.
