IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as

■

described in the 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.

■ Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a 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 this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the

microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen
sink, in a wet basement, 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.

■ 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.

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 into the container.

■ Do not mount over a sink.

■ Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave

oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

■ Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

■

■ Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking

equipment.

■ Intended to be used above ranges with maximum width of

36" (91.44 cm).

■ Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive

cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filter.

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 Requirements

WARNING

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.

Required:

■ A 120 V, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 A electrical supply with a

fuse or circuit breaker

Recommended:

■ A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker

■ A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
