PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a)Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open as this can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to 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 closes properly and that there is no damage to the:

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea may overheat 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, OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

i)Do not overheat the liquid.

ii)Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

iii)Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

iv)After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

v)Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.

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 grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.

Three-pronged (grounding) plug

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. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

English-4

1.A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2.Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3.If a long cord set or extension cord is used:

1)The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2)The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

3)The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Radio Interference

1.Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment.

2.When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

1)Clean door and sealing surface of the oven

2)Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.

3)Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.

4)Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

5)Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

CONTAINERS

CAUTION

Personal Injury Hazard

Tightly-closed containers could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced before cooking.

See the instructions on "Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in microwave oven." There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the utensil in question following the procedure below.

Utensil Test:

1.Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the utensil in question.

2.Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.

3.Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.

4.Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.

Materials you can use in microwave oven

Utensils

Comments

 

 

 

 

 

Aluminum foil

Shielding only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of

 

 

meat or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if foil is too

 

 

close to oven walls. The foil should be at least 1 inch (2.5cm) away from

 

 

oven walls.

 

Browning dish

Follow manufacturer's instructions. The bottom of browning dish must be

 

 

at least 3/16 inch (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause

 

 

the turntable to break.

 

Dinnerware

Microwave-safe only. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Do not use

 

 

cracked or chipped dishes.

 

Glass jars

Always remove lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass jars

 

 

are not heat resistant and may break.

 

Glassware

Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim.

 

 

Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.

inside gets hot. "Boiling bags" and tightly closed plastic bags should be

 

 

slit, pierced or vented as directed by package.

 

Plastic wrap

Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain

 

 

moisture. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.

Before Installation

Remove all packing material and accessories. Examine the oven for any damage such as dents or broken door. Do not install if oven is damaged.

Cabinet: Remove any protective film found on the microwave oven cabinet surface.

Do not remove the light brown Mica cover that is attached to the oven cavity to protect the magnetron.

Installation

1.Select a level surface that provides enough open space for the intake and/or outlet vents.

12 inch(30cm)

3.0 inch(7.5cm)

OPEN 3.0 inch(7.5cm)

A minimum clearance of 3.0 inches (7.5cm) is required between the oven and any adjacent walls. One side must be open.

(1)Leave a minimum clearance of 12 inches (30cm) above the oven.

(2)Do not remove the legs from the bottom of the oven.

(3)Blocking the intake and/or outlet openings can damage the oven.

(4)Place the oven as far away from radios and TV as possible. Operation of microwave oven may cause interference to your radio or TV reception.

2.Plug your oven into a standard household outlet. Be sure the voltage and the frequency is the same as the voltage and the frequency on the rating label.

WARNING: Do not install oven over a range cooktop or other heat-producing appliance. If installed near or over a heat source, the oven could be damaged and the warranty would be void.
