INSTALLATION

A. 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, con-
sult a licensed electrician.

B. Voltage Warning 

The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the
same as specified on the oven name plate located on
the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven.
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.

C. 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. Allow at
least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of
the oven for proper ventilation. 

D. Do not block the 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.

E. 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
