their use.
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord set should be at least as great as
the electrical 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 tripped over, snagged, or pulled on
If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker
and the blower sound may vary when the microwave oven
is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.
Oven MUST be grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a
three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a
separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical ratting as
shown in specifications table. When the oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times
may be required and fuses can be blown.
Microwave operates on standard household current,
120V.
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy
and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, 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 a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following:
ŸReorient the receiving antenna of the radio or
television.
ŸRelocate the microwave oven with respect to the
receiver.
ŸMove the microwave oven away from the receiver.
ŸPlug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that
the microwave oven and the receiver are on different
branch circuits.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or
television interference caused by unauthorized
modification to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility
of the user to correct such interference.
Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock.

Before Operating
Microwave utensil guide
CAUTION
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do
not operate the microwave oven empty.
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do
not use stoneware, aluminum foil, metal utensils, or
metal trimmed utensils in the microwave oven.
Use Do not use
Oven proof glass (specifically
treated for high intensity heat):
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates,
cake plates, liquid measuring cups,
casseroles and bowls without
metallic trim.
China:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and
platters without metallic trim.
Plastic:
Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the
plastic wrap loosely over the dish
and press it to the sides. Vent
plastic wrap by turning back one
edge slightly to allow excess steam
to escape. The dish should be deep
enough so that the plastic wrap will
not touch the food. Use plastic
dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer
containers and plastic bags for short
cooking times. Use these with care
because the plastic may soften from
the heat of the food.
Paper:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins and paper plates with no
metallic trim or design. Look for the
manufacturer’s label for any special
instructions for use in the
microwave oven.
Metal utensils:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven
cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal
utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
Metal decoration:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.
Aluminum foil:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and
may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs
and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls of
the oven cavity and door of the microwave.
Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you
use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the
same way.
Tightly covered utensils:
e sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware.
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.
Tightly closed pouches may explode.
Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.
Flawed or chi pped cooking utensils:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven.
Metal twist ties:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and
could cause a fire.
