CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm-WWW.P65Warnings.ca.gov

General Warning

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

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.

• Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page 2.
  This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS ” on page 4.

• 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:

  1. Do not overheat the liquid. Carefully attend to the appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
  2. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
  3. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off using the circuit breaker panel, and call emergency services.

• 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:

  1. Do not overheat the liquid.
  2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
  3. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
  4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
  5. 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.

• When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild,

• Oversized food or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in a microwave/toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

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

• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

• Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in the toaster mode.

• Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

• Do not cover turntables, pans or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 18 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the product. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

IMPORTANT: Important 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. 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

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 in. (20.32cm) of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven and 2 in. (5.08cm) at both sides. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet.
Only use the appliance on a countertop over 3 ft. (91.6cm) above the floor. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity is generated, or near combustible materials.
NOTE: Hardware not shown to actual size.

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.
