READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or
to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Read and follow the specific precautions in the

Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive
Microwave Energy

section above.

This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a
properly grounded outlet. See the 

Grounding Instructions

section on page 4.

Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with
the provided installation instructions.

Be certain to place the front surface of the door
three inches (7.6 cm) or more back from the
countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the
appliance in normal usage.

Do not mount this appliance over a sink. 

Do not mount the microwave oven over or near any
portion of a heating or cooking appliance.

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

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. If the power cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by Mabe Service or an
authorized service agent using a power cord available
from Mabe.

Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors
in this appliance. This microwave oven is specifically
designed to heat, dry or cook food, and is not intended
for laboratory or industrial use.

(a) Do Not Attempt

to operate this oven with the door

open since open-door operation can result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to
defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

( b) Do Not Place

any object between the oven front face

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

(c) Do Not Operate

the oven if it is damaged. It is

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

(1) door (bent), 

(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), 

(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The Oven Should Not

be adjusted or repaired by

anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
