To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or 

exposure to excessive microwave energy: 

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: 
■  Read all instructions before using this appliance. 
■  Read and follow the specific precautions in the 

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE 

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY section on 

page 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 oven is 

specifically designed to heat, dry or cook food, and is 

not intended for laboratory or industrial use. 

■  This microwave must only be serviced by qualified 

service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service 

facility for examination, repair or adjustment. 

INSTALLATION 

■  Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with 

the provided installation instructions. 

  This appliance must be grounded. Connect only 

to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING 

INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 5. 

■  This microwave oven is UL listed for installation over 

both gas and electric ranges. 

■  This unit is suitable for use above gas or electric 

cooking equipment, 36” or less wide. 

■ 

Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged 

power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it 

has been damaged or dropped. 

■  Keep cord away from heated surfaces. 
■  Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or 

counter 

■  Do not immerse cord or plug in water. 

■  Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. 
■  Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this 

product near water—for example, in a wet basement, 

near a swimming pool, near a sink or in similar 

locations. 

■  Do not mount this appliance over a sink. 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE CAVITY: 

■  Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance 

when paper, plastic or other combustible materials 

are placed inside the oven 

to facilitate cooking. 

■  Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper 

or plastic containers before placing them in the oven. 

■  Do not store any materials

,

 other than our 

recommended accessories, in this oven when not in 

use. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils 

or food in the cavity when not in use. Microwave rack 

should be removed from oven when not in use. 

■  If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door 

closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power 

cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker 

panel. 

■  Do not operate the microwave feature without food in 

the oven. 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS: 

■  Be careful when opening containers of hot food. Use 

pot holders and direct steam away from face and 

hands. 

■  Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches, or plastic 

bags to prevent build-up of pressure. 

■  Be careful when touching the turntable, door, racks, or 

walls of the oven which may become hot during use. 

■  Liquids and certain foods heated in the microwave 

oven can present a risk of burn when removing 

them from the microwave. The potential for a burn is 

greater in young children, who should not be allowed 

to remove hot items from the microwave.
