IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
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’ on page 2.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See ‘GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS’ on page 7.
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—
are able to explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of microwave oven is specifically designed to
heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
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.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water—for example,
near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
15. See door surface cleaning instructions on page 50.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the microwave oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the microwave oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in microwave oven.
c. If materials inside the microwave oven should ignite, keep microwave oven door closed,

17. Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN
VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL
IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for at least 20 seconds
before removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
18. If the microwave oven is installed as a built-in, observe the following instructions:
a. Do not mount over a sink.
b. Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance surface when the appliance
is in operation.
19. If the microwave oven light fails, consult a FISHER AND PAYKEL AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

UNPACKING AND EXAMINING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Remove all packing materials from inside the microwave oven
cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER,
which is located on the top cavity wall. Read enclosures and
SAVE this manual.
Check the microwave oven for any damage, such as misaligned
or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces,
broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the
cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate
the microwave oven and contact your dealer or FISHER AND
PAYKEL AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
You will use your oven frequently so plan its
location for ease of use. Allow at least 2 inches on
the sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air
circulation.
Your microwave oven can be built into a cabinet or
wall by itself or above wall oven models WOSU-30
or OB30SDEPX1 (Fisher & Paykel), using the
appropriate Fisher & Paykel branded Microwave
Accessory Trim Kit (CMOTTK). It cannot be built in
above conventional gas or electric range or any
other wall oven.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a cord which has a
grounding wire and grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current.
Warning – Improper use of the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp
or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug.
It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed
and grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a
qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
EXTENSION CORD
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 microwave oven.
The marked rating of the extension cord should be
AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp or more.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over accidentally.
Notes:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
2. Neither FISHER & PAYKEL nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the microwave
oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.
RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that
the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the
microwave oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
