Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

This is the safety alert symbol. "WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric i Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

[] Read all instructions before using the microwave

oven.

[] Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO

AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" found in this section.

[] The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect

only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" found in the "Installation

Instructions" section.

[] Install or locate the microwave oven only in

accordance with the installation instructions.

[] Some products such as whole eggs and sealed

containers - for example, closed glass jars - are able to explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

[] Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as

described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This

type of oven is specifically 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.

damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

[] The microwave oven should be serviced only by

qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair or

adjustment.

[] Do not cover or block any openings on the

microwave oven.

[] Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not

use the microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a

swimming pool, or similar locations.

[] Do not immerse cord or plug in water. [] Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

[] Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. [] See door surface cleaning instructions in the

"Microwave Oven Care" section.

[] Do not operate any heating or cooking appliance

beneath the microwave oven.

[] Do not mount microwave oven over or near any

portion of a heating or cooking appliance.

[] Do not mount over a sink. [] Do not store anything directly on top of the

microwave oven surface when the microwave oven is in operation.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

- Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the

microwave oven when paper, plastic, or other

combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

- Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

- If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven

door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the

power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or

circuit breaker panel.

- 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

Liquids, such as water, 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 OR A SPOON OR

OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injuryto persons:

- Do not overheat the liquid.

- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

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

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

the container.

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

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(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 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.

This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.

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.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

Empty the microwave oven of any packing materials.

Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.

Check for damage, such as:

• a door that is not lined up correctly

• damage around the door, or

• dents on the interior or exterior of the oven. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven until a

designated service technician has checked it and made any needed repairs.

Fire Hazard

Do not install the oven next to or over a heat

source without a UL approved trim kit.

Doing so can result in death, fire, or

electrical shock.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

microwave oven.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120-Volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply (or circuit breaker) is required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For all cord connected appliances:

The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven 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.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

IMPORTANT: The control side of the unit is the heaw side. Use

care when handling the oven. The weight of the oven is more

than 35 Ibs (15.9 kg).

• Place the oven on a cart, counter, table or shelf that is strong enough to hold the oven and the food and utensils you place

inside it.

• The microwave oven should be at a temperature above 50°F (10°C) for proper operation.

NOTE: Some models can be built into a wall or cabinet by using one of the trim kits listed in the "Installation Instructions for Built-

In Trim Kit."

• Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow a few inches of space at the back of the oven where the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the exhaust vents could cause damage to the oven and poor cooking results.

Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal safety device may automatically turn the oven off. The oven should work properly once it has cooled.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug 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 microwave oven is properly grounded.

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 microwave oven.

• For a permanently connected appliance: This appliance must be connected to a grounded,

metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
