iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

When using e(ectrical app(iances basic safety precautions shou(d be fol(owed, including the foUowing:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric [] 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 - 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 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 if 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 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

[] 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

[] 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, and the like.

[] 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.

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.

ElectricalShock 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 is required. (A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker 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.
