READ AND SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
When properly cared for, your new appliance
has been designed to be safe and reliable.
Read all instructions carefully before use.
These precautions will reduce the risk of
burns, electric shock, fire and injury to
persons. When using kitchen appliances,
basic safety precautions must be followed,
including those in the following pages.
WARNING:
Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended
in the manuals. Improper installation, service
or maintenance can cause injury or property
damage. Refer to this manual for guidance.
All other servicing should be done by a
qualified technician.
Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all controls
are in the OFF position.
Do not plug the microwave into the wall until after the
installation is complete. This is to prevent accidentally
turning the microwave on during the installation.
For appliances equipped with a cord and plug, do not cut or
remove the ground prong. It must be plugged into a
matching grounding type receptacle to avoid electrical
shock. If there is any doubt as to whether the wall
receptacle is properly grounded, the customer should have
it checked by a qualified electrician.
If required by the National Electrical Code (or Canadian
Electrical Code), this appliance must be installed on a
separate branch circuit.
Installer - show the owner the location of the circuit breaker
or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician. Installation, electrical connections
and grounding must comply with all applicable codes.
APPLIANCE HANDLING SAFETY
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution when
reaching behind or under appliance.

MICROWAVE SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND
DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the
door open.
(b) Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be
serviced before activating the magnetron or other
microwave source, and make repairs as necessary:
English 1
(1) interlock operation,
(2) proper door closing,
(3) seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other
damage),
(4) damage to or loosening of hinges and latches,
(5) evidence of dropping or abuse.
(c) Before turning on microwave power for any service test
or inspection within the microwave generating
compartments, check the magnetron, wave guide or
transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment, integrity,
and connection.
(d) Any defective or misadjusted components in the
interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation
and transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or
adjusted by procedures described in this manual before the
oven is released to the owner.
(e) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with
the Federal Performance Standard should be performed on
each oven prior to release to the owner.
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 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, and:
• 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.
