RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequencies and if
not installed and used properly in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, it may cause interference to radio and
television reception. It has been type-tested and found to comply with
limits for ISM Equipment pursuant to Part 18 of FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
particular installations. If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the interference can be corrected by one
or more of the following methods:
• Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
• Plug the microwave into a different outlet so that microwave and
receiver are on different branch circuits.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference
caused by unauthorized modification of this appliance. It is the
responsibility of the user to correct such interference.
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
• Do not attempt to operate the appliance with the door open as
this can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. Do not
tamper with or attempt to defeat the safety locks.
• Do not place any object between the front face and the door
or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on the sealing
surfaces.
• Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged. The door must
close properly and there must be no damage to the hinges,
latches, door, door seals or sealing surfaces.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing
an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord that has a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The power cord must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a standard
2-prong wall outlet, it is your responsibility to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate
indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with
another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power
cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third
ground prong from the power cord.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to
avoid hazard.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• Ensure that component parts are replaced with like components and that
servicing is done by factory authorized service personnel, to minimize the
risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.
• Check the appliance for damage before using. If there is any damage to
the appliance, do not use it, return it to its point of purchase or contact
consumer care.
• The appliance must be placed on a flat, stable surface that is able to hold
its weight and the heaviest food likely to be placed in the appliance.
• Do not use this appliance where heat, moisture or high humidity are
generated.
• Do not clean this appliance with or use near combustible materials.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• Allow 20 cm of space above the appliance, 10 cm at the back of
the appliance and 5 cm on both sides for proper air flow around
the appliance. Do not cover or block any ventilation openings in this
appliance.
• This appliance is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.

SAFETY - SUPERHEATED LIQUID
Liquids are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling due to the surface tension of the liquid.
Visible bubbling will not always be present when the liquid is
removed from the appliance. This could result in very hot liquids
suddenly boiling over when a utensil or other item such as a tea bag
is inserted into the liquid.
To reduce the risk of injury:
• Do not overheat liquids. Do not heat any liquid for more than 2
minutes per cup.
• Stir liquids before and halfway through heating.
• Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks as this
can cause a build up of steam.
• Superheated liquid can begin to spontaneously boil when
removed from the microwave. After heating, allow the liquid to
stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before removing.
• Use extreme care when inserting a utensil or other item into hot
liquids.
• The contents of milk bottles and baby food jars should be stirred
or shaken and the temperature checked before serving in order
to avoid burns.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages, especially carbonated
beverages, in this appliance as they could explode.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening
any container that has been heated in the appliance. Direct the
opening away from hands and face to avoid burns.
SAFETY - ARCING
Arcing refers to sparks inside the microwave while it is in operation.
Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil inside the appliance.
• Recycled paper towels being used inside the appliance, as these
can contain small pieces of metal.
If arcing is present, stop operation and remove any metal or paper
towels from the appliance.

RECOMMENDED
Microwave Browning Dish: Used
to brown the exterior of small
food items. Follow the directions
provided with the browning dish.
Microwavable Plastic Wrap:
Used to retain steam. Leave a
small opening to avoid a build
up of steam. Do not place
directly on food.
Glass and Ceramic Bowls
and Dishes: Use for heating or
cooking.
Paper Plates and Cups: Use
for short term heating at low
temperatures. Do not use
recycled paper as they can
contain metal and could ignite.
Paper Towels and Napkins:
Use for short term heating and
covering. Do not use recycled
paper towels as they can contain
metal and could ignite.
Wax Paper: Use as a cover to
prevent splattering.
Thermometers: Only use those
that are labeled “microwave
safe” and follow all directions.
COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE
LIMITED USE
Ceramic, Porcelain, Plastic and
Stoneware: Only use if they are
labeled “microwave safe”.
Note: To check if a dish is safe
for use in the microwave, place
the empty dish in the appliance
and microwave on high for 30
seconds. If the dish becomes very
hot, it should not be used.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Glass Jars and Bottles: Regular
glass is too thin to be used in a
microwave. It can shatter and
cause damage or injury.
Paper Bags: These are a fire
hazard and could ignite. The
only exception is popcorn
bags, which are designed for
microwave use.
Styrofoam Plates and Cups:
These can melt and leave an
unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic Storage and Food
Containers: These can melt and
ignite.
Metal Utensils: These can cause
arcing and damage to the
appliance. Remove all metal
before operation.

To achieve the best results when cooking in this appliance, follow the
suggestions below.
STIRRING
Stir foods while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside
of the dish absorbs more energy and will heat more quickly so stir
from the outside of the dish toward the center.
ARRANGEMENT
Arrange unevenly shaped foods thicker, meatier parts toward
the outside of the turntable so they receive more heat. To prevent
overcooking, place delicate items toward the center of the turntable.
TURNING
Turn food over midway through cooking to expose all parts to the
microwave energy. This is important with large items and meat.
STANDING
Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and continue
to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to
complete cooking, especially meats and liquids. All liquids should
be allowed to stand for a few minutes after cooking and should be
shaken or stirred before consuming.
ADDING MOISTURE
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is
uneven in moisture content should be covered and allowed to stand
after cooking to allow the heat to disperse evenly. Add a small
amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
