IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS / HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER
IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
E248242
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
WARNING

7
1. A 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 a 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 must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
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:
1) Clean door and sealing surface of the oven
2) Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
3) Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
4) Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
5) Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different
branch circuits.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Improper use of the grounding 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 appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounded plug, and 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The
marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly
installed and grounded.
Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.

Personal Injury Hazard
Tightly-closed utensils could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced
before cooking.
Seetheinstructionson“Materialsyoucanuseinmicrowaveovenortobeavoidedinmicrowaveoven.”
There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the
utensil in question following the procedure below.
Utensil Test:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.
4. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.
1. The oven must be on a leveled surface.
2. The turntable and turntable roller rest must be in the oven during cooking. Place the cookware gently on the
turntable and handle it carefully to avoid possible breakage.
3. Incorrect use of browning dish may cause the turntable to break.
4. UseonlythespeciedbagsizewhenusingDirectAccessPopcorn.
5. The oven has several built-in safety switches to ensure that the power remains off when the door is open. Do
not tamper with these switches.
6. Do not operate the microwave oven empty. Operating the oven with no food or food that is extremely low in
moisturecancausere,charringorsparking.
7. Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable. Excessive local heating of the turntable may cause the turntable
to break.
8. Do not heat baby bottles or baby food in the microwave oven. Uneven heating may occur and could cause
physical injury.
9. Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such as syrup bottles.
10. Do not attempt to deep-fry in your microwave oven.
11. Do not attempt home canning in this microwave oven, as it is impossible to be sure all contents of the jar have
reached boiling temperature.
12. Do not use this microwave oven for commercial purpose. This microwave oven is made for household use only.
13. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of hot liquids and beverages or scalding yourself, stir liquid before placing
the container in the oven and again halfway through cooking time. Let stand in the oven for a short time and
stir again before removing the container.
14. Use carefully when cooking food in the microwave oven to avoid burning due to excessive cooking.
15. When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children should only use the oven under adult
supervision due to the temperatures generated.
16. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration that could adversely affect the life
of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
