SAFETY INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY:
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since this 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 closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) DOOR (bent)
(2) HINGES AND LATCHES (broken or loosened)
(3) DOOR SEALS AND SEALING SURFACE
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except
properly qualified service personnel.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1Read all instructions before using the oven.
2Read and follow the specific: “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 2.
3As with most cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary to
reduce the risk of a fire in the oven cavity.
4To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
i). Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the oven when paper,
plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven
to facilitate cooking.
ii).Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic
containers/bags before placing them in the oven.
iii). If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed.
Turn the oven off and unplug the oven or shut off power at the fuse
or circuit breaker panel.
iv). Do not use the oven cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in
use.
5This oven must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded
outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 5.
6Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
7Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers (for
example closed glass jars) are able to explode and should not be
heated in this oven.
8Use this oven only for its intended uses as described in this manual. Do
not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this oven. This oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use.
9As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by
children.
10 Do not operate this oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
Warning
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire,
injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave oven energy when using your oven,
follow basic safety precautions, including the
following:

11 This oven should be serviced only by qualified service technicians.
Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair
or adjustment.
12 Do not cover or block any openings on the oven.
13 Do not store or use this oven outdoors.
14 Do not use this oven near water, for example, near a kitchen sink, in a
wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
15 Do not immerse the cord or plug in water.
16 Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
17 Do not let the cord hang overthe edge of a table or counter.
18 When cleaning surfaces of the door and the oven that come together
on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents
applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
19 Liquids, such as water, coffee, 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.
i) Do not overheat the liquid.
ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
iii) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
iv) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave
oven for a short time before removing the container.
v) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into
the container.
Warning
Handling the power cord on this oven, or cords
associated with accessories sold with this oven,
will expose you to lead; a chemical known to the
state of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash your hands after handling.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This 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. This 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.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is
properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the oven. The marked rating of the
extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the
oven.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used
if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the oven.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Warning
Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can
cause serious personal injury or death. Do not
disassemble this oven.
Improper grounding can result in electric shock.
Do not plug into an outlet until the oven is
properly installed and grounded.

Materials you can use
Warning
Personal Injury Hazard
Tightly-closed containers could explode. Closed
containers should be opened and plastic
pouches should be pierced before cooking.
Material Remarks
Aluminum foil
Use as shielding only. Small, smooth pieces can be used to cover thin
parts of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if the
foil is too close to oven walls. The foil should be at least one inch (2.5 cm)
away from oven walls.
