GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This microwave 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 microwave 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
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 microwave
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 microwave 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 a 3 slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave.
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the microwave. The longer cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.
DANGER - Electric Shock Hazard: Touching some of the internal components can cause
serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this microwave.
WARNING - Electric Shock Hazard: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in electric
shock. Do not plug the microwave in if the grounded plug is damaged.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similar qualified person to avoid hazard.
Have a qualified electrician install a grounded outlet near the microwave if the power cord
is too short.

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 microwave. 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 microwave as they
could explode.
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful
when opening any container that has been heated
in the microwave. Direct the opening away from the
hands and face to avoid burns.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY - ARCING
Arcing refers to sparks inside the microwave while it
is in operation. Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil inside the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels being used inside the
microwave, as these can contain small pieces of
metal.
If arcing is present, stop operation and remove any
metal or paper towels from the microwave.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
This microwave 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 the 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
microwave 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 away from the receiver.
• Plug the microwave into a different outlet so that
the 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 microwave. It is the
responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
• Remove all packing materials from the inside
and outside of the microwave. Do not remove
the cardboard mica sheet covering the
magnetron.
• Check the microwave for damage before using,
such as a misaligned or bent door, damaged
door seals, broken or loose door hinges or
latches, or dents inside the cavity or on the
door. If there is any damage, do not use the
microwave, return it to its point of purchase or
contact consumer care.
• The microwave must be placed on a flat, stable
surface that is able to hold its weight and the
heaviest food likely to be cooked in it.
• Do not use this microwave where heat, moisture
or high humidity are generated.
• Do not clean this microwave with or use near
combustible materials.
• Allow 7.5 cm (3 inches) of space above the
microwave, 2.5 cm (1 inches) at the back of the
microwave and 7.5 cm (3 inches) on both sides
for proper air flow. Do not block any ventilation
openings.
• Do not operate the microwave without the glass
tray, roller support and shaft in their correct
positions.
• WARNING: Do not install the microwave over
a range cooktop or other heat producing

the warranty would be void.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
COOKING TECHNIQUES
To achieve the best results, 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 with 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.

8
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. They can absorb excess
moisture and prevent splattering. 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.
Check the food in several places. Conventional
thermometers can be used once the food has been
removed from the microwave.
LIMITED USE
Ceramic, Porcelain and Stoneware: Only use if
they are labeled “microwave safe”.
Plastic: Only use if labeled “microwave safe”.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 microwave. Remove all metal before
operation.
Aluminum Foil: Using foil can cause arcing and
damage the microwave.
Note: To check if a dish is safe for use in the
microwave, place the empty dish in the microwave
