DO NOT

Recycled paper products

Dishes with metallic trim 

Metal or aluminum pans/bakeware,
utensils

Non-microwave-safe plastics, such as

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

INSTALLATION

1. Remove all packing materials and accessories. Remove any protective 

film found on the Microwave cabinet surface and on the Control Panel.

IMPORTANT

: Do not remove the Waveguide (Mica Cover) on the inside 

of the Microwave Oven cavity, this is to protect the magnetron.

2. Examine the Microwave for any damage after unpacking. Check for 

damage such as a misaligned door, broken door or dents in the cavity.
Do not install if there is any damage.

3. Install the Microwave on a flat, level surface, strong enough to hold the 

weight of the Microwave and the heaviest food likely to be cooked in the 
Microwave.

4. For correct operation the Microwave must have sufficient airflow. Allow 

8” (20 cm) of space above the Microwave, 4” (10 cm) at the back and 2”
(5 cm) on both sides. Never remove the legs from the bottom of the 
Microwave. Blocking the intake and/or outlet openings can damage the 
Microwave.

5. Place the Microwave as far away as possible from radios and televisions.

The Microwave may cause interference with these products.

6. DO NOT install the Microwave where heat, moisture or high humidity are 

generated such as over a range cook-top or other heat-producing appli-
ances or near water taps. Heat and water can damage the microwave 
and void the warranty. Do not install near combustible materials.

7. Make sure that the power cord is undamaged and does not run 

under the Microwave or over any hot or sharp surfaces.

8. Plug the Microwave into a standard household grounded outlet.

Check the rating label of the Microwave to ensure the voltage and 
frequency are compatible with the rating of the outlet. (See 
Grounding Instructions section)
