NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
When using the appliance, basic safety precautions should be
followed, including the following:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
18. When cleaning appliance sealing surfaces that come together
on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or
detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. Never use metal
scouring pads to clean the Microwave Oven as pieces may break
off of pad and cause electric shock if they come in contact with
electrical parts. See CLEANING AND CARE on page 22.
19. To reduce the risk of fire in the appliance cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper,
plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the
appliance to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing
the bag in the appliance.
c. If materials inside the appliance ignite, keep appliance door
closed, turn microwave off and shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
d. Do not use the appliance for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils or food in the appliance when
not in use.
e. Clean ventilation hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on the hood or filter.
f. Never operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.
g. When flambéing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
h. Never leave surface units unattended, especially if cooking with
high heat, as smoke and spillovers from grease may ignite and
spread if using the microwave vent fan.
i. 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.
j. Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive cleaning
agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners may damage the filter.
20. Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, are able to be overheated
beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due
to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling is not
always present when the container is removed from the appliance.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID.
21. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use
wide-mouthed containers.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the appliance at
least for 20 seconds before removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into
the container.
f. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control
the temperature of oil in microwave oven.
