iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric n 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 this section and in the pro-
vided Installation Instructions.
[] Install or locate the microwave oven only in
accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.
[] Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and
sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars -
are able to explode and should not be heated inthe
microwave oven.
[] Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
described inthis manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type
of oven isspecifically designed to heat, cook, or dry
food. It is not designed for industrialor 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.
[]
See door surface cleaning instructions in the
"Microwave Oven Care" section.

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 bags 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.

iMPORTANT SAFETY 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 injury to 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 intothe container.
[] Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking
equipment.
[] Intended to be used above ranges with maximum
width of 36 inches.
[] Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
[] 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 use paper products when appliance is operat-
ed in the "PAN BROWN" mode (on models with this
feature).
[] Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in
use.
[] Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave
oven when the microwave oven is in operation.
[] When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
[] Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter.
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven
cleaners, may damage the filter.
[]
Do not cover or block any openings on the micro-
wave oven.
[]
Do not store this 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.
[]
Do not mount over a sink.
[]
Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with
metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

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.
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 120Volt, 60 Hz,
AC only, 15- or20-amp fused electrical supply is required.(A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker isrecommended.) It is
recommended that a separatecircuit serving only thisappliance
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.
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.
