Safety
Important Safety Instructions, continued
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use near water – for
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, etc.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles or spattered oils
stuck to the oven walls or floor can cause paint damage and reduce
the efficiency of the oven.
• 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.
• When cleaning door and oven surfaces, use only mild, nonabrasive
soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven:
a. Do not overcook food. Watch appliance carefully if paper, plastic,
or other combustible materials are inside.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from plastic cooking bags before placing
bags in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, 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.
d. Do not use the oven compartment for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the oven when
not in use.
• Do not try to preheat oven or operate while empty.
• Do not cook without the glass tray in place on the oven floor. Food will
not cook properly without the tray.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles. The
containers can break.
• Dishes and containers can become hot. Handle with care.
• Carefully remove container coverings, directing steam away from
hands and face.
• Remove lids from baby food before heating. After heating baby food,
stir well and test temperature by tasting before serving.
• Do not operate any other heating or cooking appliance beneath this
appliance.
• Do not mount over a sink.
• Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance when it is in
operation.
• If materials inside oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the
fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may
spread.

than 76.2 cm(30 inches). It may be installed over both gas and
electric cooking equipment.
I MPORTANT G ROUNDING
I
NSTRUCTIONS
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 power cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded. Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly
grounded outlet of standard 115-120 voltage, 60Hz. Your oven
shold be the only appliance on this circuit.

Safety
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if you do not
understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure
if the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the
power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord under any circumstances.
NOTE
Connect the oven only to a 20A greateror over dedicated circuit.
THE VENT FAN
The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions
(see page 8).Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.
• Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to
build up on the microwave or the fan filters.
• In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave
oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan
completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.
• Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning
agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.
• Do not prepare flaming foods under the microwave when the fan is
operating.
• Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To
minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and
use high heat on surface units only when necessary.
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:
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.
