SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 

 
Electrical Requirements 

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 20 amp. It is recommended that 
a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong 
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and 
grounded.  

Extension Cord 

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3 
blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave 
oven. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the 
electrical rating of the appliance. 

Notes: 

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult 

a  qualified electrician or service person. 

              2. Neither Sunbeam nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven 

or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection 
procedures. 

Radio or TV Interference 

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check 
that the microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocated the radio or TV as far away from 
the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna. 
 

UTENSILS GUIDE 

This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited 
use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave. 

Recommended 

·

Microwave browning dish

 

  Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, 

    chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish. 

·

 Microwaveable plastic wrap

 

  Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some 

    steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food. 

·

Paper towels and napkins 

 

Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb 

    excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may 
    contain metal and could ignite.
