Important Safety Instructions

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

m

m

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.

APPLIANCE HANDLING SAFETY Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution when reaching behind or

under appliance.

SAFETY CODES AND
STANDARDS

ELECTRIC SAFETY Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all controls are in the OFF position.

This appliance complies with one or more of the following Standards:

UL 858, The Standard for the Safety of Household Electric Ranges
UL 923, The Standard for the Safety of Microwave Cooking Appliances
UL 507, The Standard for the Safety of Electric Fans
ANSI Z21.1, The American National Standard for Household Cooking Gas

Appliances
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 113-M1984 Fans and Ventilators
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-M89 Household Cooking Ranges

It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional
requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations.

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.

Important Safety Instructions

m

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable
codes.

RELATED EQUIPMENT SAFETY Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance. Destroy the packaging

after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

Never modify or alter the construction of the appliance. For example, do not remove
leveling legs, panels, wire covers or anti-tip brackets/screws.

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:

(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.
