DANGER
WARNING
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:
■ Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
■ Read and follow the specific “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 “INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS” section.
■ Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
■ Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and
sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars - are
able to 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
specifically 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 qualified
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 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.
■ 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 fire 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 off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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 THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
– Do not overheat 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 mount over a sink.
■ Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven
when the microwave oven is in operation.
■ Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be
inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or
risk of electric shock.
■ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off
the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric
shock.
■ Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in
convection, combination, grill or “PAN BROWN” mode.
■ Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's
recommended accessories, in this microwave oven when
not in use.
■ Do not cover racks or any other part of the microwave oven
with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the microwave
oven.
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 qualified service personnel.
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
This device complies with Industry Canada ICES-001.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking
1. Empty the microwave oven of any packing materials.
2. Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Check for damage, such as:
■a door that is not lined up correctly
■damage around the door, or
■dents on the interior or exterior of the microwave oven.
If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave
oven until a designated service technician has checked
it and made any needed repairs.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not remove
microwave inlet cover. See the “Parts and Features” section.
Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: The control side of the microwave oven is the
heavy side. Handle the microwave oven gently. The weight of the
microwave oven is over 35 lbs (15.9 kg).
■Place the microwave oven on a cart, counter, table, or shelf
that is strong enough to hold the microwave oven and the
food and utensils you place inside it.
■The microwave oven should be at a temperature above
50°F (10°C) for proper operation.
NOTE: Some models can be built into a wall or cabinet by using
one of the trim kits listed in the “Assistance or Service” section.
■Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow
a few inches of space at the back and side of the microwave
oven where the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the
exhaust vents could cause damage to the microwave oven
as well as poor cooking results.
■Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure
proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal
device may automatically turn the microwave oven off. The
microwave oven should work properly once it has cooled.
Electrical Requirements
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
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
microwave oven.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVETHESE 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 qualified
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 qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven. A short power supply
cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
