Instructions, continued
• As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
• 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.
• This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact the
nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or adjustment.

on this appliance.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do
not use near water – for example, near a
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a

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

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.

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

• 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
reheating. After heating baby food, stir well
and test temperature by tasting before
serving.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord
sets or extension cords are available and
may be used with caution.
• Do not operate any other heating or
cooking appliance beneath this appliance.

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 that includes a
grounding wire and 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, 60 Hz. Your oven
should be the only appliance on this
circuit.
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.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk of 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:
1. The marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance.
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 accidentally. If you use an
extension cord, the interior light may
flicker and the blower may vary when
the microwave oven is on. Cooking
times may be longer, too.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power
cord under any circumstances.
