in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors
in this appliance. This microwave oven is specifically
designed to heat, dry or cook food, and is not intended for
laboratory or industrial use.

provided installation instructions.
This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a prop-
erly grounded outlet. See the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
section in this guide.
This microwave oven is UL listed for installation over both
gas (less than 60,000 BTU) and electric ranges.
This unit is suitable for use above gas or electric cooking
equipment, 36” or less wide.
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power
cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter.
Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.
Do not block or cover any openings on the appliance.
Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this
product near waterfor example, in a wet basement,
near a swimming pool, near a sink or in similar location.
Do not mount this appliance over a sink.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE OVEN CAVITY
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when
paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven while cooking.
Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or
plastic containers before placing them in the oven.
Do not store any materials, other than our recommended
accessories, in this oven when not in use. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity
when not in use. Microwave rack should be removed
from oven when not in use.
If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door
closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord,
or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Do not operate the microwave without food in the oven.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS
Be careful when opening containers of hot food. Use pot
holders and direct steam away from face and hands.
Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches, or plastic bags to
prevent build-up of pressure.
Be careful when touching the turntable, door, or walls of
the oven which may become hot during use.
Liquids and certain foods heated in the microwave oven
can present a risk of burn when removing them from the
microwave. The potential for a burn is greater in young
children, who should not be allowed to remove hot items
from the microwave.
OPERATING AND CLEANING
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave
surface when the microwave oven is in operation.
Oversized food or oversized metal cookware should not
be used in a microwave/convection oven because they
increase the risk of electric shock and could cause a fire.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn
off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of
electric shock.
Do not use paper products in oven when appliance is
operated in any cooking mode except microwave only.

SUPERHEATED WATER
nLiquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to be over-
heated 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.

The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions.
Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.
nClean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow
grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters.
nIn the event of a grease fire on the surface units below
the microwave oven, smother a flaming pan on the
surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a
cookie sheet or a flat tray.
nUse care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filters.
nWhen preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn
the fan on.
nNever leave surface units beneath your microwave
oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread
if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize
automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware
and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients
with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.
nPlug microwave into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
nDo not remove the ground prong or use an adapter.
nDo not use an extension cord.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
A short power-supply is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over a longer
cord. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If
the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
