WARNING! – To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, M or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

  1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

  2. Read and follow the specific PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY found on page 5.

  3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See
    “IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 4.

  4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

  5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers, like closed glass jars, are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.

  6. 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.

  7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when 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 a qualified service personnel. Contact your nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

  10. Do not cover or block any openings on this appliance.

  11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water. For example, do not use near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.

  12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

  13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

  14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

  15. When cleaning the surfaces between the door and the oven that come together upon closing, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

  16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

    • Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
    • Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
    • 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.
    • Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
  17. Liquids such as water, 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 UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

  18. This appliance is intended for household use only.

Important 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.

WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements are 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 20 amp.

It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided.

The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.

Three-pronged (grounding) plug

Properly polarized and grounded outlet

Power Supply Cord

  1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in outrapping over a longer cord.
  2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
  3. lf long cord or extension cord is used:
    a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
    b ) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

NOTE:

If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.

Neither manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

Radio or TV Interference

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or BTV, check that the microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna. This device complies with part 18 of the FCC rules.

How To Test For A Microwave Safe Dish

To determine if a dish is microwave-safe, place the dish in the microwave along with a glass
measuring cup filled with one cup of water. Microwave for one minute on high and then carefully
feel the dish. If it is warm, it is not microwave-safe.

Arcing- The microwave term for sparks in the oven. Caused by:

  • Metal or foil touching the side of the microwave.
  • Upturned edges of foil not wrapped around the food.
  • Meta ls in the microwave such as twist ties, meat pins or metal rimmed dishes.
  • Recycled paper towels in the microwave that contain small flecks of metal.

Materials For Use In Microwave

To avoid arcing and other hazards, follow these instructions for the use of safe materials in the microwave.

Browning dish| Follow manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of browning dish must be at least 3/16 inch (0.5 cm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break.
---|---
Dinnerware| Microwave- safe only . Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Glassware| Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Makesure there is no metallic trim.
Oven cooking bags| Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Do not close with metal tie. Make slits to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates/cups| Use for short-term cooking/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended while cooking.
Paper towels| Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for short – term cooking only.
Parchment paper| Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
Plastic| Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Boiling bags and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. When using a bacon tray, cooking performance result may vary as it is manufactured by different manufacturers.
Plastic wrap| Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Thermometers| Microwave-safe only.
Wax paper| Use as a cover to prevent splattering and retain moisture.

Materials To Avoid In Microwave

  • Metal pans and bakeware
  • Dishes with metallic trim
  • Recycled paper products
  • Brown paper bags
  • Non-heat resistant
  • Non-microwave safe plastics ( e.g. margarine tubs)
  • Food storage bags
  • Metal twist ties

Setting Up Your Microwave

Installation:

  1. Remove all packing materials and accessories. Examine the oven for any damage such as dents or broken door. Do not install if oven is damaged.
  2. Select a level surface that provides enough open space for ventilation. Allow for 3 inches of open space next to the sides and back of the microwave. Allow for 12 inches of open space above the microwave. Do not place any items on top of microwave and do not remove the legs from the bottom of the microwave.
  3. Place the microwave as far away as possible from radios and televisions. Microwave may cause interference to these appliances.
  4. Plug the microwave into a grounded household outlet. Check the rating label of the microwave to ensure the voltage and frequency are compatible with the outlet.
  5. Do not install microwave oven over a range cook top or other heat-producing appliance. Heat can damage the microwave and void the warranty.
