the cavity when not in use.
•Clean the ventilating hood frequently.Do not
allow grease to accumulate on the hood or the
filters.
•Use care when cleaning the vent hood filters.
Corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-based oven
cleaners may damage the filters.
•Do not tamper with the built-in safety switches
on the oven door.The oven has several built-in
safety switches to make sure the power is off when
the door is open.
• If food flames under the hood, turn the fan on.
•Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking
equipment 36 inches wide or less.
•Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.
It is made for household use only.
•When cleaning the door and the surfaces that
touch the door, use only mild, non-abrasive
soaps or detergents and a sponge or soft cloth.
•If your oven is dropped or damaged,have it
thoroughly checked by a qualified service technician
before using it again.
•To avoid a fire hazard:
- Do not severely overcook food.Severely
overcooked foods can start a fire in the oven.
Watch the oven carefully, especially if you have
paper, plastic, or other combustibles in the oven.
- Do not store combustible items (bread,
cookies, etc.) in the oven, because if lightning
strikes the power lines it may cause the oven to
turn on.
- Do not use wire twist-ties in the oven. Be sure
to inspect purchased items for wire twist-ties and
remove them before placing the item in the oven.
•If a fire should start:
- Keep the oven door closed.
- Turn the oven off.
- Disconnect the power cord or shut off the
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
•To avoid electric shock:
- This appliance must be grounded. Connect it
only to a properly grounded outlet. See the
electrical GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
on page 5.
- 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.

breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may
spread.
NOTE: Turn the microwave’s vent fan on
whenever you use the oven range cooktop
below it.The fan captures smoke, steam, and
odors and also prevents the heat from the
cooktop from damaging microwave components.
If the microwave is cooking, the vent fan turns on
automatically if the sensors detect too much heat
from the cooktop. This is normal, and is designed
to prevent microwave component damage.

LOCATION OF MODEL NUMBER
To request service information or replacement parts,
the service center will require the complete model
number of your microwave oven. The number is on the
oven front as shown in the illustration below.
OVEN SPECIFICATIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The oven is designed to operate on a Standard
120V/60Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at
least 15A or 20A and the microwave oven is the only
appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50Hz
or any circuit other than a 120V/60Hz circuit.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical
short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. The appliance is equipped with a cord
having a grounded wire with a grounded plug.
Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING -
If you use the grounding
plug improperly, you risk electric shock.
Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the
appliance is properly grounded.

short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation
Instructions for directions on placing the cord properly.
Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or
crush it in any way.
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 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.
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment
grounding conductor should be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal or lead on the appliance.
