IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy when using your appliance, basic safety precautions should be taken, including the following:

1. Install or locate this appliance only by the SET UP instructions, on page 5.
2. Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – can explode and should not be heated in this oven.
3. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.
4. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when it is used by children.
5. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service technicians. Contact 1-800- 726-0190.
6. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

1. Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open, as this can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to break or tamper with the safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven’s front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the door (for example, make sure that it is not bent); hinges and latches (for example, make sure that they are not broken or loosened); door seals and sealing surface.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel. If the microwave unit is not kept clean, its surface could be degraded and lead to a hazardous situation.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER – Electric Shock Hazard Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
WARNING – Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until the appliance is properly installed and grounded.

NOTICE: PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. Patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.

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 with a grounding wire and grounding plug.

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 an extension cord should not be used unless the following precautions are followed (see 3, below).
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave oven energy when using your appliance, take basic precautions, including the following:

1. The oven must be placed on a level surface.
2. The glass turntable and turntable assembly must be in the oven during cooking. Handle the glass turntable carefully and place cookware on it gently to avoid possible breakage.
3. Incorrect use of a browning dish may cause the turntable to break. See information about cookware you can use, on page 6.
4. Use only the correctly specified bag size when using the preset popcorn program.
5. The oven has several built-in safety switches to ensure that the power remains off when the door is open. Do not tamper with these switches.
6. Do not operate the microwave oven when empty. Operating the oven with no food or food that is extremely low in moisture can cause fire, charring, or sparking.
7. Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable. Excessive local heating of the turntable may cause the turntable to break.
8. Do not heat baby bottles or baby food in the microwave oven. Uneven heating/hotspots may occur and cause injury.
9. Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such as syrup bottles.
10. Do not attempt to deep-fry in your microwave oven.

SET UP

1. Select a level surface with a minimum clearance of 12 inches (30 cm) above the oven and at least 3 inches (8 cm) between the oven and any adjacent walls. NOTE: One side must be open.
2. Do not remove the bottom oven legs.
3. Remove any protective film from the oven.
4. Do not remove the mica cover MicroGuide attached to the interior. It shields and protects wave action.
5. Plug the oven into a standard household outlet. Be sure the voltage and frequency are the same as the voltage and frequency on the rating label.

WARNING: Do not install this oven over a range cooktop or other heat-producing appliances. If improperly installed near or over a heat source, the oven could be damaged and the warranty would be void. Surfaces may be hot during operation.
