  1. Read all instructions before using the microwave.

  2. Read and follow the specific: PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
    EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY: found on page 3.

  3.  As with any cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a fire in the microwave cavity or when used by children.

  4. To reduce the risk of fire in the microwave cavity:

    • Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the microwave to facilitate cooking.
    • Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers/bags before placing them in the microwave.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

DANGER – Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury. Do not disassemble this appliance.

WARNING – Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until the appliance is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

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

RADIO INTERFERENCE

  1. Operation of the microwave may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment.
  2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:
    • Clean the door and the sealing surface of the microwave.
    • Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
    • Relocate the microwave with respect to the receiver.
    • Move the microwave away from the receiver.
    • Plug the microwave into a different outlet so that the microwave and receiver are on different branch circuits.
