Getting Started
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons 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” on page 2.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only
to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” on page 6.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
5. 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.
6. 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.
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 qualified
service personnel. Contact nearest Authorized
Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. 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.
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. See door surface cleaning instructions on page 27.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the microwave oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to
appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the microwave oven to
facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in microwave oven.
c. If materials inside the microwave oven should
ignite, keep microwave oven door closed, turn
microwave oven off and disconnect the power
cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
d. 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 A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven at least for 20 seconds before
removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
18. Clean ventilation openings and grease filters
frequently—Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on ventilation openings, hood (louver)
or grease filters.
19. Use care when cleaning the louver and the grease
filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based
oven cleaners, may damage the louver and the
grease filters.
20. When flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on.
21. This appliance is suitable for use above both gas and
electric cooking equipment 36" wide or less.
