Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered.

Grounding Instructions

Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by

providing an escape wire for the electric current if an electrical short occurs. This oven 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. See installation instructions.

Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in specifications table. When the oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.

Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-120V.

Interference Statement

(U.S.A. Only)

This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with limits for ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following:

•Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

•Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.

•Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

•Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and the receiver are on different branch circuits.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modification to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

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 defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

B. DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door to allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

C. DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that oven door close properly and that there is no damage to:

1.door (bent),

2.hinges and latches (broken or loosened),

3.door seals and sealing surfaces.

D.Oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

WARNING

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 when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

1.DO NOT overheat the liquid.

2.Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

3.DO NOT use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

4.After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

5.Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
