PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSI-
BLE 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 inter-
locks.
(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 closes 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.

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 3.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to prop-
erly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUC-
TIONS" found on page 6-7.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electri-
cal short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the 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 ser-
viceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounded plug, and 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
6

on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord
shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the
appliance.
DANGER-Electric Shock Hazard:
Touching some of the internal components can cause
serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this
appliance.
WARNING-Electric Shock Hazard:
Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock.
Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly
installed and grounded.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:
(1).The marked electrical rating of the cord set or exten-
sion cord should be at least as great as the electri-
cal rating of the appliance.
(2).The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire
cord.
(3).The longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over uninten-
tionally.

RADIO INTERFERENCE
UTENSILS
1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference
to your radio, TV or similar equipment.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminat-
ed by taking the following measures:
(1).Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
(2).Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
(3).Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the
receiver.
(4).Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
(5).Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that
microwave oven and receiver are on different branch
circuits.
This device complies
with part 18 of the
FCC Rules.
CAUTION-Personal Injury Hazard:
Tightly-closed utensils could explode. Closed containers
should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced
before cooking.
See the instructions on "Materials you can use in microwave
oven ." or "Materials to be avoided in microwave oven ."
There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to
use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the utensil in
question following the procedure below.
8

Utensil Test:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water
(250ml) along with the utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 min.
