To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
1. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat couldoverheat
and be hazardous tohandle.
2. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with
an unbroken yolk using microwave energy.
Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk
with fork or knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar
foods before cooking with microwave energy.
When skin is pierced, steam escapesevenly.
4. Do not operate equipment without load orfood
in oven cavity.
5. Microwave popcorn should not be poppedin
oven.
6. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in
oven. Most cooking thermometers contain
mercury and may cause an electrical arc,
malfunction, or damage tooven.
7. Do not use metal utensils inoven.
8. Do not use aluminum foil inoven
9. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials that are not intended forcooking.
10. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials, follow manufacturer’s
recommendations on productuse.
11. Do not use paper towels which contain nylonor
other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could
melt and cause paper to ignite.
12. Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in
oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and
cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open
container or bag beforeheating.
13. Toavoid pacemaker malfunction, consult
physician or pacemaker manufacturerabout
effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.
14. An authorized servicer MUST inspectequipment
annually. Record all inspections and repairs for
future use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To avoid risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend oven
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 inoven.
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. DO NOT
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food
in the cavity when not in use.
WARNING
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:
i) Do not overheat theliquid.
ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
iii) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
iv) After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
v) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into thecontainer.

INSTALLATION
STEP 1 - Unpack Oven
A. Inspect oven for damage such as dents in door or inside ovencavity.
B. Report any dents or breakage to source of purchaseimmediately.
Do not attempt to use oven if damaged.
C. Remove all packing materials from oveninterior.
D. If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a few hours before
connecting power.
STEP 2 - Place Oven on Counter
E. Recommended countertop surface depth is 28in (72 cm).
F. Do not install oven next to or above source of heat, such as a pizza
oven, grill, or deep fat fryer. This could cause oven to operate
improperly and could shorten the life of electrical parts due to
excessive heat and/or grease.
G. Do not block or obstruct oven filters. Allow access for filters to be
cleaned.
H. Install oven on level countertop surface.
I. Outlet should be located so that plug is accessible when oven is in
place. Oven cord length is 60in (152cm)
STEP 3 –Test Oven Operation
J. Ensure cooking plate is installed.
1. Oven cavity must be cool to touch.
2. Place shelf in oven with curve positioned towardthe
the front of the oven. This ensures proper convection air flow.
K. DO NOT cook food directly on floor ofoven.
6
A. Allow at least 2in (5.1cm) of clearance around top
of oven. Proper air flow around oven cools
electrical components. With restricted air flow,
oven may not operate properly and life of electrical
parts is reduced.
B. Do not remove back panel bumpers. Theyensure
proper clearance.
C. Allow at least 1in (2.54cm) of clearance around
sides of oven.
D. Install oven so oven bottom is at least 3 feet
(91.5cm) above the floor.
