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 with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Warning! IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded, and 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
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 appliance.
Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on this manual.
This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet.
See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on this manual.
Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
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.
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.
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
Do not operate this appliance if it is has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact
nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
Do not cover or block any openings on the appliances.
Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water –for

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance 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 bag 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.
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 UTENSIL INTO THE
LIQUID.
To avoid that type of situation when heating liquids, put a teaspoon or glass
rod inside the container.

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 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
surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly
qualified service personnel.
Pacemakers:
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including
microwaves. However, patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their
physicians if they have concerns.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED
BEFORE AND DURING SERVICING TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.
(b) Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before
activating the magnetron or other microwave source, and make repairs as
necessary: interlock operation, proper door closing, seal and sealing
surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage), damage to or loosening of hinges
and latches, evidence of dropping or abuse).
(c) Before turning on microwave power for any service test or inspection within
the microwave generating compartment, check the magnetron, wave guide
or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment, integrity and
connection.
(d) Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal,
and microwave generation and transmission systems, shall be repaired,
replaced, or adjusted by procedures described in this manual before the
oven is released to the owner.
(e) A microwave leakage check, to verify compliance with the Federal
Performance Standard, should be performed on each oven prior to release to
the owner.

MICROWAVE SAFETY
Warning! Never leave the oven unwatched,
especially when using paper, plastic or other
combustible materials. These materials can
char and may fire. FIRE RISK!
Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or
alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE
RISK!
Warning! Do not heat liquids or other foods
in closed containers since these may
explode readily.
Warning! This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Warning! If the oven has a combined
function mode (microwave with other means
of heating), children should not be allowed to
use the oven without adult supervision on
account of the high temperatures generated.
Warning! The oven cannot be used if:
- The door is not closed correctly;
- The door hinges are damaged;
- The surfaces of the contact between the
door and the oven front are damaged;
- The door window glass is damaged;
- There is frequent electrical arcing inside
the oven even though there is no metal
object inside.
The oven can only be used again after it
has been repaired by a Technical
Assistance Service technician.
Beware!
Never heat baby foods or drinks in bottles or
jars with the teats or lids on them. After
heating the food mix or shake well so that
the heat is spread evenly. Check the food
temperature before feeding this to the child.
DANGER OF BURNING!
To avoid food overheating or burning it is
very important not to select long time
periods or power levels that are too high
when heating small quantities of food. For
example, a bread roll can burn after 3
minutes if the power selected is too high.
For toasting, use just the grilling function and
watch the oven all the time. It you use a
combined function to toast bread it will catch
fire in a very short time.
Make sure you never catch the power cables
of other electrical appliances in the hot door
or the oven. The cable insulation may melt.
Danger of short-circuiting!
