PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE 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 interlocks.
(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 close 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 adusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
= To 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 2 of this manual.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet.
See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” foundonpage5
of this manual.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers-for example, closed glass jars-may explode
and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use for drying linens,
newspaper, or any other non food items.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has
been damaged or dropped.
9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel only. Contact nearest
Service centre for any inspection, repair or adjustment.
IO. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not use outdoors.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or a counter.
15. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with
a sponge or soft cloth.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Watch carefully if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven should ignite, KEEP THE OVEN DOOR CLOSED, turn oven off, and
disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
17. Do not heat any type of baby bottles or baby food. Uneven heating may occur and could cause personal
injury.
18. Avoid heating small-necked containers such as syrup bottles.
19. Avoid using corrosive and vapors, such as sulfide and chloride, such as syrup bottles.
20. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become
overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding
ingredients (instant coffee, etc.) resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. In all containers, for
best results, stir the liquid several times before heating. Always stir liquid several times between
reheatings.

INSTALLATION
A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit,grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape route for the electric current.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug (Fig. 1) to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING- Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not,
under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord plug.
PROPERLY POLARIZED
AND GROUNDED OUTLET
Three-Pronged (Grounding) plug Fig. 1
The consumer should have it checked by a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the responsibility and
obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three- prong wall receptacle.
a) If customer has two-prong wall receptacle, he should replace it with a three-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
b) Use of extension cords: If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension
cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on
the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the
electrical rating of the appliance.

INSTALLATION (Cont’d)
B. CIRCUITS
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances
or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
C. VOLTAGE WARNING
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specificed on the oven serial plate
located on the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven. Use of a higher voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage. Low voltage will
cause slow cooking. In case your microwave oven does not perform normal operation in accordance
with AC power source and voltage, remove the power cord and then insert it again.
D. DO NOT BLOCK AIR VENTS
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered during oven operation the
oven may overheat. In this case a sensitive thermal safety device automatically turns the oven off.
The oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
E. RADIO INTERFERENCE
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 eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
c. Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
d. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.
NOTE:
1. 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 long cord or extension cord is used. (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord
miust be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (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
accidentally.
