GENERAL WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave technology:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.

• Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page 1.

• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS ” on page 3. Do not operate the oven when empty.

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

• 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.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this 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.

• As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

• 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.

• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. 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 a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid.

• To reduce the risk of injury to person:

  • Do not overheat the liquid.
  • Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
  • Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
  • After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
  • Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

• Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control the temperature of oil in microwave oven.

• Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or a plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

• Do not immerse cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated surface. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces 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.
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, and if it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3- blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 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 outlet properly installed and ground.

Power Cord

• A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If 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 countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

• Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
• This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface.
• For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow minimum 8 inch (20.32cm) of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven and 2 inch (5.08cm) at both sides. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet.
• The appliance shall be only used on a countertop over 3 feet (91.6cm) above the floor.
• Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated, or near combustible materials.
• Make sure that the power cord is undamaged and does not run under the oven or over any hot or sharp surface.
• The socket must be readily accessible so the microwave oven can be easily unplugged in an emergency.

COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE
This section lists which utensils can be used in this microwave, which have limited use for short periods, and which should not be used in this microwave.

RECOMMENDED

• Microwave browning dish —  Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
• Microwaveable plastic wrap —  Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
• Paper towels and napkins —  Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes —  Use for heating or cooking.
• Paper plates and cups —  Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which contain metal and could ignite.
• Wax paper —  Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
• Thermometers —  Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.

LIMITED USE

• Aluminum foil —  Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.
• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware —  Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
• Plastic —  Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.

NOT RECOMMENDED

• Glass jars and bottles —  Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and injury.
• Paper bags —  These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags due on food.
• Styrofoam plates and cups —  These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
• Plastic storage and food containers —  Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
• Metal utensils —  These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.

Note: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave at high power level for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
