Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure
to Excessive Microwave Energy
Microwave Safety
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the
door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy.
It is important not to defeat or tamper with the
safety interIocks.
(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.
Microwave Safety Instructions
Glass Tray
1. DO NOT operate the oven without the Roller
Ring and the Glass Tray in place.
2. DO NOT operate the oven without the Glass
Tray fully engaged on the drive hub. Improper
cooking or damage to the oven could result.
Verify that the Glass Tray is properly engaged
and rotating by observing its rotation when you
press START.
(c) 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:
(1) door (bent)
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired
by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.
Roller Ring
1. The Roller Ring and oven floor should be
cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.
2. Roller Ring must always be used for cooking
along with Glass Tray.
3. Always replace the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray
in their proper positions.
3. Only use the Glass Tray specifically designed for
this oven. Do not substitute any other glass tray.
4. If the Glass Tray is hot, allow to cool before
cleaning or placing in water.
5. DO NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray. Always
place food in a microwave-safe dish or on a rack
set in a microwave-safe dish.
6. If food or utensil on the Glass Tray touches the
oven walls, causing the tray to stop moving, the
tray will automatically rotate in the opposite
direction. This is normal: the Glass Tray can turn
in either direction.

Microwave Safety
Important Safety Instructions
Your microwave oven is a cooking device and you should use it with as much care as you use with a range
or any other cooking device. When using this electric appliance, 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, observe 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,“ found on
Page 3.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only
to properly grounded outlet. See “Grounding
Instructions” found in Installation Instructions.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the Installation Instructions.
5. Do not cover or block any openings on this
appliance.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. DO NOT use corrosive
chemicals, vapors, or nonfood products in this
appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat or cook. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use. The use of corrosive
chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the
appliance and may result in radiator leaks.
7. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that
come together upon closing the door, use only
mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied
with a sponge or soft cloth.
8. Do not allow children to use this appliance
unless closely supervised by an adult.
9. Liquids that are superheated beyond boiling can
erupt or splash when moved or stirred. To avoid
this and to reduce the risk of injury:
(a) Do not overheat the liquid.
(b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating.
(c) After heating, allow the container to stand
in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
(d) Use extreme care when inserting a utensil
into the hot liquid.
10. Avoid using corrosive vapors, such as sulfide and
chloride.
11. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with
a loud noise during or after heating or when
adding ingredients (instant coffee, etc.), resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. For
best results in all containers, stir the liquid several times before heating. Always stir liquid several times between reheating.
12. Some products such as whole eggs, narrowneck bottles, sealed containers and closed glass
jars may explode and should not be heated in
this oven.
13. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend ap-
pliance if 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For proper use of your oven, read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions.

M Oven Care and Use Manual Microwave Safety
Important Safety Instructions
Please read all instructions before using this appliance.
General Microwave Use
1. DO NOT operate the oven while empty. The
microwave energy will reflect continuously
throughout the oven, causing overheating if
food or water is not present to absorb energy.
This could damage the oven and result in a risk
of fire.
2. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other
materials in oven, or use newspapers or paper
bags for cooking. Fire could result.
3. DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the
paper product is labeled as safe for microwave
oven use. Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and result in
fires when used.
4. DO NOT hit or strike control panel. Damage to
controls may occur. Fire could result.
5. POT HOLDERS should always be used when
removing items from the oven. Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the cooking container and from the cooking container to the
Glass Tray. The Glass Tray can be very HOT after
removing cooking container from oven.
6. DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on
top of, or in the oven. These could be fire
hazards.
• Children and pets should not be left alone or
unattended in the area where the appliance is in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
• Never use the oven to warm or heat a room.
Such use can damage the oven parts.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose
fitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using this appliance. Tie long hair so
that it doesn't hang loose.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specifically recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred to an
authorized servicer.
• Do not store flammable materials in or near the
oven.
• Do not use water on a grease fire. Smother fire
or flame or use a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let a potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth.
General Appliance Safety
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact
the manufacturer.
• Be sure the oven is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
• In the event that personal clothing or hair
catches fire, DROP AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY
to extinguish flames.
• As a precaution, it is highly recommended that
a fire extinguisher be readily available and highly
visible next to any cooking appliance.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For proper use of your oven, read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions.
