IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:
When using electrical appliances basic
safety precautions should be followed
including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the
appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific warning:
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY,” page 3.
3. This appliance must be grounded.
Connect only to properly grounded
outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 3.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the provided
installation instructions, pages 7-8.
5. 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.
6. Use this appliance only for its intend-
ed use as described in this manual.
Do not use corrosive chemicals or
vapors in this appliance. This oven is
specifically designed to heat or cook
food. It is not designed for industrial
or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervi-
sion is necessary when it is used by
children.
8. 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.
9. This appliance should be serviced
only by qualified service technicians.
Contact 1-800-726-0190.
10. Do not cover or block any openings
on the appliance.
11. Do not store or use this appliance out-
doors.
12. Do not use this product near water, for
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, or
similar locations.
13. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
14. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
15. Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter.
16. 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.
17. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
interior:
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.
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.
18. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea
can be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling.
Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the micro-
wave oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT
LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER
WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
19. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and half-
way through heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided contain-
ers with narrow necks. Use a wide
mouth container.
d. After heating, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven for
at least 20 seconds before remov-
ing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting
a spoon or other utensil into the
container. This may also cause
delayed eruptive boiling.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY
1. Do not attempt to operate this oven
with the door open as this can result
in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to break or
tamper with the safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the
oven front face and the door or allow
soil or cleaner residue to accumulate
on sealing surfaces.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is
damaged. It is particularly important
that the oven door closes properly
and that there is no damage to the
door (for example, make sure
that it is not bent); hinges and latches
(for example, make sure that
they are not broken or loosened);
door seals and sealing surface.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or
repaired by anyone except properly
qualified service personnel.
If the microwave unit is not kept clean, its
surface could be degraded and lead to a
hazardous situation.
SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER - Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal compo-
nents can cause serious personal injury or
death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
WARNING - Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding can result
in electric shock. Do not plug into an
outlet until appliance is properly installed
and grounded.
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 with a grounding
wire and grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service-
man if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood or if doubt exists
as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire exten-
sion cord that has a 3-pronged grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the appliance.
1. A short power-supply cord is provid-
ed to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or an extension
cord should not be used unless the
following precautions are followed
(see 3, below).
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should
