GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces 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 plug can result in a risk of electric 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 if it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-

wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the

appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the

appliance.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 20 amp. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving

only the oven be provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall outlet

properly installed and grounded.

Power Cord

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a

longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If 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 the longer cord should be arranged so that it will

not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.

2. This microwave oven must be placed on a flat.

3. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow minimum 20cm of free space necessary above

the top surface of the oven and 5cm at both sides. The microwave oven rear plate must be placed close to the wall.

Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet.

COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE

This section lists which utensils can be used in this microwave, which have limited use for short periods, and which

should not be used in this microwave.

RECOMMENDED

Microwave browning dish —Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the

directions provided with your browning dish.

Microwaveable plastic wrap —Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid

placing it directly on the food.

Paper towels and napkins —Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent

spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.

Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes —Use for heating or cooking.

Paper plates and cups —Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may

contain metal and could ignite.

Wax paper —Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

Thermometers —Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow all directions. Check the food in several

places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.

LIMITED USE

Aluminum foil —Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage

your oven, so be careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.

Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware—Use these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe". If they are not labeled, test

them to make sure they can be used safely.

Plastic —Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe". Other plastics can melt.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Glass jars and bottles —Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and

injury.

Paper bags —These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.

Styrofoam plates and cups —These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.

Plastic storage and food containers —Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.

Metal utensils —These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.

Note:

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH

for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
