USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Installation
1.
Make sure that all packaging materials are removed
from the oven.
2.
WARNING: Check your oven for any damage, such as
misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and
sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges, loose
latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If
there is any damage, do not operate the oven. Contact
customer service at 1 (800) 798-7398.
3.
The microwave must be placed on a flat, stable surface
to hold its weight and the heaviest food likely to be
cooked in the oven.
4.
Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or high
humidity are generated or near combustible materials.
5.
Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space at the top,
sides and back of the oven for proper ventilation. Do
not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do
not remove the feet of the microwave.
6.
For safety purposes this microwave oven must be
plugged into a 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical
appliance or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in
doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
7.
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the
same as specified on the oven rating plate. 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
correct voltage, remove and reinsert the plug. If
problem continues, try another outlet or call customer
service at 1 (800) 798-7398.
8.
Do not operate the microwave oven without the glass
turntable or turntable drive plate in their proper
positions. Never place the glass turntable upside down
in the microwave.
9.
Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged
and does not run underneath the microwave oven or
over any hot or sharp surface.
10. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV or
radio reception. If there is interference, it may be
reduced or eliminated by:
a.
Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
b.
Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or the
TV.
c.
Plug the microwave into a different outlet so that
the microwave oven and the receiver are on
different branch circuits.
d.
Relocate the radio or the TV.
11. This microwave should not be built into cabinetry or
mounted on a shelf above an electric or gas range.
12. Wash all removable parts such as the glass turntable,
turntable drive plate, pizza pan and metal rack before
using and let dry completely before placing back into
the microwave.
