INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking

1.

Empty the microwave oven of any packing materials.

2.

Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.

3.

Check for damage, such as:

a door that is not lined up correctly

damage around the door, or

dents on the interior or exterior of the microwave oven.

If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave oven 
until a designated service technician has checked it and 
made any needed repairs.

Location Requirements

Place the microwave oven on a cart, counter, table or shelf 
that is strong enough to hold the microwave oven and the 
food and utensils you place inside it.

The microwave oven should be at a temperature above 50°F 
(10°C) for proper operation.

Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow 
a few inches of space at the back and side of the microwave 
oven where the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the 
exhaust vents could cause damage to the microwave oven, 
as well as poor cooking results. 

Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure 
proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal device 
may automatically turn the microwave oven off. The 
microwave oven should work properly once it has cooled.

This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■  

Do not operate any heating or cooking appliance beneath the 

microwave oven.

■  

Do not mount microwave oven over or near any portion of a 

heating or cooking appliance.

■  

Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in 
convection, combination, grill or “PAN BROWN” mode (on 
models with such features).  

■  

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

■  

Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven 
when the microwave oven is in operation.

■  

Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.

■  

Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use 
the microwave oven near water - for example, near a 
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming

Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

■  

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO 
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY 

(a) 

Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open 
since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure

Do not place any object between the oven front face and 

the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on 
sealing surfaces.

important that the oven door close properly and that there 
is no damage to the:

(1) 

Door (bent),

(3) 

Door seals and sealing surfaces.
