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.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Before you begin operating the oven, carefully read the following instructions.
1, Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with
a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as a door that isn't lined up correctly, damage around
the door, or dents inside the oven or on the exterior. If there is any damage, do not operate the
oven until a designated service technician has checked it and made any needed repairs.
2. Put the oven on a cart, counter, table, or shelf that is strong enough to hold the oven and the food and
utensils you put in it. (The control side of the unit is
the heavy side. Use care when handling the oven.) The weight of the oven is about 26 Ibs (12 kg). The
microwave oven should be at a temperature above
50°F (10°C) for proper operation.
..................Air intake
NOTE: Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake
openings. Allow a few inches of space at the back and side 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 sensi- tive thermal safety device automatically turns the
oven off. The oven should work properly once it
has cooled.
Power opening supply cord (in rear)
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15-amp fused electrical supply 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.
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: The microwave oven 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
microwave oven.

Using your microwave oven may cause interference
Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light
waves. You cannot see them, but you can see what they do.
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces
microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven,
where they contact food as it turns on the turntable. Your oven has a MAXWAVE TM multiple microwave
distribution system. Microwave energy is released from two locations, giving you better, more even
cooking.
to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:
• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
• Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.
• Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet
so that the microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.
Oven cavity Magnetron
Glass turntable Metal floor
The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets
microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and are
absorbed by the food.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and
plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy.
• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is
cooking. If needed, touch JET STARTTM Feature pad while the oven is operating or after the cooking
cycle is over (see the "Using JET STARTTM Feature" section).
• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all
recipes. This will help make sure the food is evenly cooked.
• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or
plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of
the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.
Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven
with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook power for one minute. If the dish gets hot and
water stays cool, do not use it. Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb
microwave energy, slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for microwave use
could damage the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic
glaze or trim).
iiil;iilli!ii:5¸
• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open.
• Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from oven.
• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven.
• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven.
• Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. Product life may be shortened. If you practice
programming the oven, put a container of water in the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look wavy
after the oven has been running for a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it
allows microwaves to pass through it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate freely.
The turntable can rotate in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven.
Handle your turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your
turntable cracks or breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.
• When you use a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least _0in. (5 mm) above the
turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.
• Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst and damage the oven. Cover poached eggs
and allow a standing time.
• Heated liquids can splash out during and after heating. Use of a wooden stir stick placed in the
cup or bowl during heating may help to avoid this.
• Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer,
cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for
example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods dur-
ing the cooking time.
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightly firm because they will continue cooking during standing time. After microwaving, let
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less
than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.
