SAFETY
• 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.
• Do not place any object between the oven
front face and the door, or allow soil or
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing
surfaces.
• 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:
- door (bent),
- hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
- door seals and sealing surfaces.
• The oven should not be adjusted or
repaired by anyone except properly qualified
service personnel.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
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
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded, and either:
1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot recepta-
cle 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, or . . .
2. 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 appliance.
NOTES:
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, and (3) 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 accidentally.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet.
See GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS found on page 3 of this manual.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
5. Some 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.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals
or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has
been damaged or dropped.
9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized
service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water – for example, near a kitchen sink,
in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar location.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.
15. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild,
nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
c. 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.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
SAFETY
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY found on page 3 of this manual.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
The safety instructions below will tell you how to use your oven to avoid harm to yourself or damage to your
oven.

SAFETY
17. Liquids such as water, coffee,or teaare 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;
1) Do not overheat the liquid.
2) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
3) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
4) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container
5) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
18. Avoid heating small-necked containers such as syrup bottles.
19. Avoid using corrosive and vapors, such as sulfide and chloride.
20. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become
overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients
(instant coffee, etc.), resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. In all containers, for best results,
stir the liquid several times before heating. Always stir liquid several times between reheatings.

Do not operate the oven when empty or without the glass tray. It is best to
leave a glass water in the oven when not in use. The water will safly absorb
