Precautions To Avoid Possible
Exposure To Excessive
Microwave Energy
(a] Do not attempt to operate
this oven with the door open since
open-door operation can result in
harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to de-
feat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object be-
tween the oven front face and the
door or allow soil or cleaner resi-
due to accumulate on sealing sur-
faces.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it
is damaged. It is particularly im-
portant that the oven door close
properly and that there is no dam-
age to the: (1)door [bent), (2)hinges
and latches [broken or loosened),
(3)door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be ad-
justed or repaired by anyone ex-
cept properly qualified service
personnel.

Additional safety considerations in-
clude:
Do not operate the oven when empty.
Tbe removable glass shelf MUST
ALWAYS BE IN PLACE WHENEVER
the oven is in use.
Do not lean on the oven door. The door
is designed to close tightly and seal
properly for safe operation. Leaning
on the door may warp or break the
hinges.
Do not operate the oven if it has been
dropped. Call your authorized dealer
for inspection and repair.
To avoid exposure to dangerous high

Installation
Before you use your new microwave
Eye Level range, check the range for
possible shipping damage. If damage
has occurred, immediately report it
to your authorized dealer. Do not
attempt to operate the range.
For Lower Range Section: Refer to
installation instructions in the Use
and Care Booklet for gas ranges.
CAUTION: To prevent permanent
damage to range parts, range MUST
be installed according to the lnstai-
iation Instructions. Refer to the in-
structions for correct clearances.
OPERATION OF ANY SURFACE
UNIT WITHOUT A UTENSIL IN
PLACE WILL CAUSE PERMANENT
DAMAGE TO RANGE PARTS.
The Eye Level range requires free
movement of air for proper opera-
tion. Air movement keeps the magne-
tron tube cool, removes moisture
from the range during a cooking ope-
ration and prolongs the life of the
range. Vents for the Eye Level range
are located across the top of the
range. They shoui be kept clean and
unobstructed at ail times.
The Eye Level range is equipped with
a special, concealed fan that auto-
matically turns on when the temper-
ature of range parts begin to rise.
The fan will stay on until the range
cools. even after the conventional
oven or surface units have been
turned off. Do not be concerned if
you should hear a fan noise during,
and sometimes after, some conven-
tional cooking operations.

Touch Pads
Just as many of today’s telephones of-
fer “touch-tone” dialing, your new
microwave oven offers touch-tone
programming. When any of the pads
are touched in proper sequence, a
sound can be heard indicating that
the entry has been accepted. If no
sound is heard, the oven has not ac-
cepted the entry.
Oven Light
The oven light automatically turns on
when the door is opened and off when
the door is properly closed. If the door
is not securely closed, the oven light
will remain on.
The oven light will also stay on during
a defrost, cook or hold operation. The
light will not turn on when the Minute
Timer feature is in use.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN COOKING
Before you begin cooking, we sug-
gest you take a few minutes now
to become familiar with all the
special features found on your
new oven. By learning how each
feature operates you will find that
you will save time and avoid frus-
tration later. So sit down next to
your oven and review the next
few pages. Practice setting each
feature as you read the operating
instructions. You will be surpris-
ed to see how easy this oven is to
operate.
Why not treat yourself to a hot
beverage as you study. Heat
water for tea or coffee in the oven
as you practice setting the oven.
We do not recommend operating
the oven when the oven is empty.
Always have a container of water
in the oven as you practice.
Time-of-Day Clock
When the oven is first plugged in,
0O:OOwill flash in the Time Readout
Display until the reset pad is touched.
