IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■  

Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in 
the “PAN BROWN” mode (on models with this feature). 

■  

Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s 
recommended accessories, in this 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 deep fry in microwave oven. Microwavable utensils 
are not suitable, and it is difficult to maintain appropriate 
deep frying temperatures.

■  

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 pool, or 
similar locations.

■  

Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

■  

Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

■  

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

■  

Do not mount over a sink.

■  

Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal 
foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

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 
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.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, 
fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE  INSTRUCTIONS

■  

For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven 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.

WARNING: 

Improper use of the grounding plug can 

result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified 
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are 
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether 
the microwave oven is properly grounded. 

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is 
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install 
an outlet near the microwave oven.

This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
