IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING-To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 2.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 5.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with
the provided installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed glass jars are able to
explode and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of
oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food.
It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel.
Contact nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this
product near water — for example, near a kitchen sink,
in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar
locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
15. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that
comes together on closing the door, use only mild,
non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in oven.
c) 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.
d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
17. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. 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 A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
18. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive
chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides). Vapors
from such corrosive chemicals may interact with the
contact and springs of the safety interlock switches
thereby rendering them inoperable.
19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot
control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire.
20. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place.
Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
21. Use care when cleaning the vent hood filters.
Corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-based oven
cleaners may damage the filters.
22. Clean the ventilating hood frequently. Do not allow
grease to accumulate on the hood or the filters.
23. Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking
equipment up to 30 inches wide.
24. Do not use this oven for commercial purposes It is
designed for household use only.
25. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Keep the area under the hood properly ventilated at all
times. Turn off cooking equipment if you see flames or
a fire occurs.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This appliance 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 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 appliance is properly grounded, and if it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
WARNING:
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.
