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.

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 - 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.

INSTALLATION
• Remove all packing materials from the inside and outside of the
appliance. Do not remove the cardboard mica sheet covering the
magnetron.
• Check the appliance 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 to the appliance, do not use it, return it to its point of
purchase or contact consumer care.
• The mounting surface must be capable of supporting the cabinet load
in addition to the added weight of this microwave, approximately
22.6 - 31.7 kg (50 - 70 pounds), plus additional oven loads of up to
22.6 kg (50 pounds) for a total weight of 45.2 - 54.3 kg (100 - 120
pounds).
• This appliance cannot be installed in cabinet arrangements such as
an island or peninsula. It must be mounted to both a top cabinet and
a wall.
• Do not clean this appliance with or use near combustible materials.
• Do not block any ventilation openings on the appliance.
• Do not operate the appliance without the glass tray, roller support
and shaft in their correct positions.
• Make sure the shelf is positioned properly inside the microwave to
prevent damage from arcing. Do not use the microwave with the shelf
on the floor of the microwave. Do not use the shelf when cooking
popcorn. Always use pot holders when removing the shelf as it may
be hot.

FINDING THE WALL STUDS
1. Use a stud finder to locate the
wall stud. If a stud finder is not
available, use a hammer to tap
lightly on the wall to find a solid
sound. This sound indicates the
location of the wall stud.
2. Find the center of the wall stud
by probing the wall with a
small nail to find the edges of
the stud. Draw a line down the
center of the wall stud.
Note: The microwave must be
connected to at least one wall stud.

USING THE INSTALLATION
TEMPLATE
There are three different types of
cabinetry that will change how the
rear wall template should be used
to determine where to install the
mounting bracket.
1. Flat bottomed cabinet: The top
of the template should align
with the bottom of the cabinet.
2. Framed recessed cabinet: The
top of the template should align
with the back frame of the
cabinet bottom.
3. Framed recessed bottom
cabinet with front overhang:
The top of the template should
align with the front overhang.
It may be helpful to measure
the overhang, then measure the
same distance from the bottom
of the cabinet and mark that
spot.
Notes:
• Any decorative trim on the
cabinetry or wall should be
removed before installing the
microwave.
• Use a level to ensure that the
template is level before marking
the wall. The microwave must
be level to ensure proper
functioning.
• At least three screws must be
used to install the mounting
plate. At least one of those
screws must be in a wall stud.
