READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
When using an electric appliance, basic precautions should always be followed including the following:
WARNING (MICROWAVE OVEN)
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, INJURY TO PERSONS OR EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
• Do not attempt to operate this microwave 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 interlocks.
• Do not place any object between the microwave oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue
to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• Do not operate the microwave oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the microwave oven door
close properly and that there is no damage to the:
• Door (bent or dented)
• Hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
• Door seals and sealing surfaces
• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlets.
• Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the installation instructions provided.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or
vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifi cally designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed
for industrial or laboratory use.
• As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
• Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces (including the back of the oven).
• Remove lids from baby food before heating. After heating baby food, stir well to distribute the heat evenly.
Always test temperature by tasting before feeding the baby. The glass jar or surface of the food may appear to
be cooler than the interior, which can be so hot as to burn the infant's mouth.
• Liquids, such as water, milk, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER
IS DISTURBED BY A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSILS, INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
a) Do not overheat liquids.
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 utensils into the container.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Carefully remove container coverings, directing steam away from your
hands and face.
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers (e.g.: closed jar) may explode if heated in this oven.
Remove seals and lids before use.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped. When the power plug or power cord is damaged, contact your nearest service center.
• Do not cover or block any of the openings on this appliance.
• Do not immerse the power cord or plug in water and do not operate the appliance with wet hands.
• Do not let the power cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the unit. Do it by grasping the power cord plug.
• Do not try to preheat the microwave oven or operate it while empty.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles. The containers can break.
• Dishes, containers and the inside of the appliance may become hot. Handle with care.
• If the appliance generates a strange noise, a burning smell or smoke, unplug the power cord immediately and
contact your nearest service center.
• When cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE OVEN:
a) Do not overcook food. Watch appliance carefully 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 bags in oven.
c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off, disconnect the power cord, or
shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fi re may spread.
d) Do not use the oven compartment for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or
food in the oven when not in use.
CAUTION
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles or spattered oils stuck to the oven walls or fl oor can cause
paint damage and reduce the effi ciency of the oven.
• When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive
soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. Unplug the power cord before cleaning.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool or similar locations.
• Do not cook without the turntable in place on the oven fl oor. Food will not cook properly without the tray in place.
• Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance when it is in operation.
• Do not tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to the door.
• Never try to repair the oven on your own. This appliance should be serviced only by qualifi ed service personnel.
Contact the nearest service center for examination, repair or adjustment.
WARNING (VENT FAN)
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS:
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer
at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualifi ed personnel in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fi re-rated construction codes and standards.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn vent fan ON when cooking at high heat or when fl ambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fan frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or fi lter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
e) The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions. Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fi res while the vent fan is in use.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE*:
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fi tting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL
TO PREVENT BURNS. IF THE FLAMES DO NOT GO OUT IMMEDIATELY, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels — This could cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you know how to operate it.
B. The fi re is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fi re department has been called.
D. You can fi ght the fi re with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
CAUTION
• For indoor use only.
• Use care when cleaning the grease fi lter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as oven cleaners, may damage the fi lter.
• For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
• To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust,
etc. off appliance.
