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, re, injury to
persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
• Read all instructions before
using the microwave oven.
• Read and follow the specic
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found in this
section.
• The microwave oven must
be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded
outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found in the
“Electrical Requirements”
section and in the provided
Installation Instructions.
• Install or locate the
microwave oven only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions.
• Microwave is suitable for use
above both gas and electric
cooking equipment.
• Intended to be used above
ranges with maximum width
of 36" (91.44 cm).
• Some products such as whole
eggs in the shell and sealed
containers - for example,
closed glass jars - can explode
and should not be heated in
the microwave oven.
• Use the microwave oven
only for its intended use as
described in the manual. Do
not use corrosive chemicals
or vapors in the microwave
oven. This type of oven is
specically designed to heat,
cook, or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
• As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary
when used by children.
• Do not operate the
microwave oven if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it
is not working properly, or
if it has been damaged or
dropped.
• The microwave oven should
be serviced only by qualied
service personnel. Call an
authorized service company
for examination, repair, or
adjustment.
• Do not cover or block any
openings on the microwave
oven.
• Do not store or use this
microwave oven outdoors. Do
not use the microwave oven
near water - for example,
near a kitchen sink, in a wet
basement, near a swimming
pool, or similar locations.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not immerse cord or plug
in water.
• Keep cord away from heated
surfaces.
• Do not let cord hang over
edge of table or counter.
• See door surface cleaning
instructions in the
“Microwave Oven Care”
section.
To reduce the risk of re in the
oven cavity:
• Do not overcook food.
Carefully attend the
microwave oven when paper,
plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags before
placing bags in oven.
• If materials inside the oven
ignite, keep oven door closed,
turn oven o, and disconnect
the power cord, or shut o
power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
• Do not use the cavity for
storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.
To reduce the risk of injury to
persons:
• Do not overheat the liquid.
• Liquids, such as water, coee,
or tea can 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 THE
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED
OR A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID.
• Stir the liquid both before and
halfway through heating it.
• Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
• After heating, allow the
container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short
time before removing the
container.
• Use extreme care when
inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
• Do not store anything directly
on top of the microwave oven
when the microwave oven is
in operation.
• Clean Ventilating Hoods
Frequently - Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate
on hood or lter.

5
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Use care when cleaning the
vent-hood lter. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-
based oven cleaners, may
damage the lter.
• When ambéing foods under
the hood, turn the fan on.
READ AND SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
MICROWAVE ENERGY SAFETY
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 adjusted
or repaired by anyone except
properly qualied service
personnel.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Required:
A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply with a fuse or circuit
breaker.
Recommended:
A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.
A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For all cord connected
appliances:
• The microwave oven 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. The microwave
oven is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. 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.
Consult a qualied electrician
or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as
to whether the microwave oven
is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord.
If the power supply cord is too
short, have a qualied electrician
or serviceman install an outlet
near the microwave oven.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
