INSTALLATIONS

3-1

INSTALLING

1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with

a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as
misaligned door, damage around the door or dents
inside the cavity or on the exterior.

2. Put the oven on a counter, table, or shelf that is

strong enough to hold the oven and the food and
utensils you put in it. (The control panel side of the
oven is the heavy side. Use care when handling.)

3. Do not block the vent and the air intake openings.

Blocking vent or air intake openings can cause
damage to the oven and poor cooking results.
Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to
ensure proper air flow.

4. The oven should not be installed in any area where

heat and steam are generated, because they may
damage the electronic or mechanical parts of the
unit.
Do not install the oven next to a conventional
surface unit or above a conventional wall oven.

5. Use microwave  oven in an ambient temperature

less than 104°F (40°C).

6. Place the microwave  oven on a sturdy and flat

surface at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the wall.

7. Place the microwave oven as far away as possible

from TV, RADIO, COMPUTER, etc., to prevent
interference.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For personal safety, this appliance must be fully
grounded at all times.

In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third ground prong from the power cord plug.
