INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking
1. Empty the microwave oven of any packing materials.
2. Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Check for damage, such as:
■ a door that is not lined up correctly
■ damage around the door, or
■ dents on the interior or exterior of the microwave oven.
If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave oven
until a designated service technician has checked it and
made any needed repairs.
Location Requirements
■ Place the microwave oven on a cart, counter, table or shelf
that is strong enough to hold the microwave oven and the
food and utensils you place inside it.
■ The microwave oven should be at a temperature above 50°F
(10°C) for proper operation.
■ Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow
a few inches of space at the back and side of the microwave
oven where the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the
exhaust vents could cause damage to the microwave oven,
as well as poor cooking results.
■ Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure
proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal device
may automatically turn the microwave oven off. The
microwave oven should work properly once it has cooled.
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Do not operate any heating or cooking appliance beneath the
microwave oven.
■ Do not mount microwave oven over or near any portion of a
heating or cooking appliance.
■ Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in
convection, combination, grill or “PAN BROWN” mode (on
models with such features).
■ Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s
recommended accessories, in this microwave oven when not
in use.
■ Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven
when the microwave oven is in operation.
■ Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.
■ Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use
the microwave oven near water - for example, near a
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, or similar locations.
■ Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
■ Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
■ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
■ A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from being entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.
■ Do not mount over a sink.
■ Do not cover racks or any other part of the microwave
oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the
microwave oven.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
