This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency
energy and if not installed and used properly, that is
in strict accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions, may cause interference to radio and
television reception. It has been type tested and
found to comply with limits for ISM Equipment
pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the
following:
• Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or
television.
• Relocate the Microwave Oven with respect to the
receiver.
• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
