READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MICROWAVE OVEN

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy,

basic safety precautions should be followed, 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 3.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on

page 4.

4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

5. Some items 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 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 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.

Customer Support Center at 1-866-257-3336.

1. Do not attempt to operate this microwave oven with the door open. Door open operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat of tamper with the safety interlocks.

2. Do not place any objects between the microwave oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

a. Door (bent), b. Hinges and latches (broken or loosened), c. Door seals and sealing surfaces.

4. The microwave oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

1. Make sure all packing materials are removed from the inside of the microwave oven door.

2. Check the microwave 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 are any damages, do not operate the oven but contact Customer Service at 1-866-257-3336.

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 8” of space above the microwave oven, 4” at the back,

and 2” on each side of the unit.

6. Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven. Do not remove microwave oven feet. Do not operate the

INSTALLATION GUIDE

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

This microwave oven 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. 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. For questions regarding the grounding instructions, please contact our Customer Support Center at 1-866-257-3336. 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, and either:

1) 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 appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance, or 2) Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman installs an outlet near the appliance. WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

 The electrical requirements for this microwave oven are a 120V, 60Hz, AC only, 20 amp.  It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the microwave be provided.  The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall outlet properly installed

and grounded.

POWER CORD

 A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long

cord.

 Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is taken in using them.  If using a longer cord, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the

electrical marking of the microwave itself and the extension cord must be a grounded-type 3-wire cord. The longer cord should be arranged so it will not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE

 Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to 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 feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
