WARNING  
WARNING  
To reduce risk of burns, electric shock, fire, personal injury or exposure to excessive microwave  
energy:  
1. Read all safety instructions before using the appliance.  
2. Use this appliance only for its intended uses as described in this manual.  
3. Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy” on  
this page.  
4. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlets. See Important  
“Grounding Instructions” on page 6 of this manual.  
5. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.  
6. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers for example, closed glass jars are able  
to explode and should not be heated in this oven.  
7. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive  
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry  
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.  
8. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.  
9. 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 or dropped.  
10. Never try to repair the oven on your own. This appliance should be repaired or serviced only by  
qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or  
adjustment.  
11. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.  
12. Do not tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to the door.

16. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.  
17. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild,  
nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. Unplug the plug before  
cleaning.  
18. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity.  
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible  
materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.  
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.  
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the  
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the  
fire may spread.  
d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils,  
or food in the cavity when not in use.  
19. Liquids, such as water, milk, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point  
without appearing to be boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS  
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. 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.

GrounDinG inStructionS  
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.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.  
-
-
-
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove the third (grounding) prong.Do not use an  
adaptor or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.  
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you do not understand the grounding instructions  
or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.  
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the power-supply cord is too  
short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance. However, if it is  
necessary to use an extension cord, read and follow the “Use of Extension Cords” section below.  
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.

In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the oven, smother a flaming pan on  
the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.  
Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers  
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the vent fan is operating.  
To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on  
surface units only when necessary.  
If materials inside oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and
