A. 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
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.
B. CIRCUITS
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a
15 or 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or
lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt,
consult a licensed electrician.
C. VOLTAGE
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the
same as specified on the oven name plate located
inside oven door. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous
and may result in a fire or other type of accident
causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow
cooking. In case your microwave oven does not
perform normally in spite of proper voltage, remove
and reinsert the plug.
D. PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN
Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your
kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home.
Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen
countertop or a specially designed microwave oven cart.
Do not place oven above a gas or electric range. Free
air flow around the oven is important.
E. DO NOT BLOCK AIR VENTS
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If
air vents are covered during oven operation the oven
may overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety
device automatically turns the oven off. The oven will
be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
F. RADIO INTERFERENCE
1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV or
radio reception.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the oven.
b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
c. Relocate the microwave oven in relation to the TV or radio.
d. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so
that microwave oven and receiver are on different
branch circuits.
G. UNPACKING OVEN
• Inspect oven for damage such as dents in door or
inside oven cavity.
• Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase
immediately.
Do not attempt to use oven if damaged.
• Remove all materials from oven interior.
• If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait
a few hours before connecting power.
