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 having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Extension cord:
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.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
accidentally.
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult
a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
CIRCUITS
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 15 or
20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting
circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed
electrician.
VOLTAGE
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same
as specified on the oven name plate located inside oven
door. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result
in a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage.
Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your
microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of
proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.
PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN
Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your kitchen,
family room, or anywhere else in your home. Place the
oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen countertop or a
specially designed microwave oven cart. Do not place oven
above a gas or electric range. Free air flow around the oven
is important.
PRECAUTIONS
*Be certain to place the front surface of the door three
inches away or more from the countertop edge to avoid
accidental tipping of the appliance in normal usage.
*For the most accurate programming of the electronic units,
touch the center of each pad securely. Do not touch
several pads at one time or touch between pads. A beep
sound should be heard with each touch when a pad is
touched correctly.
*Do not hit or strike the control with objects such as
silverware, utensils, etc. Breakage may occur.
*Be careful when taking the cooking utensils out of the
oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and
may be hot.
*Do not rinse cooking utensils by immediately placing them
into water just after cooking. This may cause breakage.
Allow the turntable to cool.
*Use only specific glass utensils. See cooking utensils
section in this manual.
*Do not operate the oven empty. Either food or water
should always be in the oven during operation to absorb
microwave energy.
*Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers or clothes.
They can catch fire.
*Use only thermometers approved for microwave oven cooking.
*Be certain the turntable is in place when you operate the oven.
*Pierce the skin of potatoes, whole squash, apples, or any fruit
or vegetable which has a skin covering before cooking.
*Never use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell.
Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it to burst.
*Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe container
or commercial package designed especially for microwave
ovens.
Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag not designed for
microwave oven use. Overcooking may result in smoke
and fire. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not reuse
popcorn bags.
DO NOT BLOCK AIR VENTS
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air
vents are covered during oven operation the oven may
overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device
automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be
inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV or radio
reception.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the oven.
b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
c. Relocate the microwave oven in relation to the TV or radio.
d. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that
microwave oven and receiver are on different branch
circuits.
