SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric
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 this section.
■ Install or locate the microwave oven only in accord-
ance with the provided Installation Instructions.
■ Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and
sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars –
may 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 lab-
oratory use.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
■ The microwave oven should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact nearest auth-
orized service company for examination, repair, or
adjustment.
■ Do not cover or block any openings on the
microwave oven.
Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should
not be inserted in the microwave oven as they may
create a fire or risk of electric shock.
■
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can
burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving
a risk of electric shock.
Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in
use.
Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with
metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
■
■
■
Do not use paper products when appliance is
operated in the "PAN BROWN" mode.
■
Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a dam-
aged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Oven
Care” section.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the micro-
wave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
■
■
■
Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not
use this product near water - for example, near a
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swim-
ming pool, and the like.
– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bags in oven.
– 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.
– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
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.
(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.
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.
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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■ Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■ Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the
Room.
■ Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not
be left alone or unattended in area where oven is in

the oven unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
■ Storage in Oven – Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven.
■ Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.
■ Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
■ Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury.

■ Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks
in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact
hot heating element in oven.
■ DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to
cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven
doors, and windows of oven doors.
