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.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close

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".
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "grounding instructions”.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instruction.
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:
e. Do not overheat the liquid.
f. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
g. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
h. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
i. 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, which are specifically designed for use in microwave ovens.
19. Do not operate any heating or cooking appliance beneath this appliance.
20. Be certain the glass tray and roller rings are in place when you operate the oven

UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully remove oven from carton.
• SAVE THE CARTON AS IT MAY MAKE INSTALLATION EASIER.
Remove:
1. All packing materials from inside the oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE
COVER, which is located on the ceiling in the oven cavity. Check to see that there are Installation
Instructions, Wall Template, Top Cabinet Template, bag of Installation Hardware, Charcoal Filter and
Exhaust Damper Assembly. Read enclosures and SAVE the Owner’s Instructions.
2. The feature sticker from the outside of the door, if there is one.
Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces,
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 your dealer.
See Installation Instruction for more details.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 having
a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. 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
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 20 amps. 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
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 microwave oven. 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 install an outlet near the appliance.
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, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position
and signal of receiving antenna.
Notes:
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service
person. Neither Sunbeam nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury
resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
• NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish
could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and anticlockwise. See page 9 for
complete instructions.
• ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
• When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
• Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will
influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause
as much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
• In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add
time accordingly.
