1.  

Examine the oven after unpacking.

  Check for damage such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity. 
  If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify your dealer immediately.

2. 

Level, flat location.

  Install the microwave oven on a level, fl at surface.

3. 

Ventilation.

    Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause a 

failure. 

  For proper ventilation, allow 3 inches of space between oven top, sides, rear and adjacent surfaces.

4. 

Away from radio and TV sets.

  Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna, 

feeder, etc.  

  Place the oven as far from them as possible.

5. 

Away from heating appliances and water taps.

  Keep the oven away from heat, steam or splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect oven wiring and 

contacts.

6. 

Power supply.

 • 

 

Check 

your 

local 

power 

source. 

       

 This microwave oven requires a current of approximately 12 amperes, 120Volts, 60Hz and a grounded outlet.

1.  A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks of the user  becoming entangled in or tripping over 

 a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3.  If a long cord or extension cord is used:

•   The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical 

 rating of the oven.

•  The extension cord must be a grounding type 3-wire cord.
•  The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape the table top or counter where it can be pulled 

 on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

7. 

The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is about 4 inches.
