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 impor-
tant that the oven door close 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.

When Using Any Electrical Appliance (cont.)
• 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, non-abrasive soaps or
detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic,or other
combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
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 as food will not
cook properly.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles. The container may
break.
• Dishes and containers can become hot. Handle with care.
• Carefully remove utensil coverings, directing steam away from hands and face.
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even without their lids, especially meat
and egg mixtures. After heating baby food in microwave-safe dish or bowl,
stir well and test temperature by tasting before serving to baby.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long cord or extension cord is used,
a. the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
b.the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3 wire cord; and
c. the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over accidentally.

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
electrical 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
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if you do not
understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the
appliance is properly grounded.
WARNING: Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord under any circumstances.
Preferred method of grounding
Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard
115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this
circuit.
Using an adapter
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of an
adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes may
permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, which is available at
most hardware stores.

Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If a ling 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 applicance.
2. The extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must
be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
If you use an extension cord, the interi-
or light may flicker and the blower
sound may vary when the microwave
oven is on. Cooking times may be
longer, too.

Care and Cleaning
Follow these instructions to care for and clean your microwave oven.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven
walls and absorb microwaves, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
• To avoid staining, wipe up spills immediately. Clean spills with a damp cloth and mild
soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
• To help loosen baked on food particles or spilled liquids, heat two cups of water in a
four-cup measuring glass at HIGH power for five minutes or until boiling. Let stand in
the oven for one or two minutes. To keep the oven smelling fresh, add the juice of one
lemon to the water before heating it.
• Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray
from breaking, handle it carefully and do not place it into water just after cooking. Wash
the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth.
To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, don’t let water seep into the open-
ings.
• Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to
avoid scratching.
• If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can
accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates
microwave leakage.
• Never operate the oven inthe microwave mode without food in it; this can damage the
magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water in the oven when it is
not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
