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 exercised in 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
   • This device complies with part 18 of the FCC Rules.

Cookware and cooking materials

WARNING: Tightly-closed containers could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced before cooking.

Cookware and other materials must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders because cookware may become hot.
See “Materials you can use” on page 5 and “Materials to be avoided” on page 5 as a guide, then test before using.

Cookware and Materials Test:

1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup (250 ml) of cold water, along with the cookware or materials in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for one minute. Do not exceed one minute cooking time.
3. Carefully feel the cookware or material. If the empty cookware or material is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.

Cleaning and maintaining your microwave

Cleaning the outside of your microwave

Exterior
The outside surface is precoated plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts are easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak, or dull the door surface.

Control panel
If the control panel is dirty, open the microwave door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the door and press Stop/Cancel to clear any buttons you may have pressed.

Cleaning the inside of your microwave

Interior
Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads. For baked-on food, use baking soda or a mild soap, then rinse thoroughly with hot water.

Waveguide cover
The waveguide cover is located on the side wall inside the microwave cavity. It is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.

Removing odors
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave. To remove, combine one cup (.25 L) water, grated peel and juice of one lemon, and several whole cloves in a two-cup (.5 L) glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power, then let it cool in the microwave. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.

Turntable
Remove the turntable and wash it in mild, sudsy water. For stubborn stains, use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. You can also wash them in the top rack of a dishwasher.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.
