IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
5. Do not operate the oven when empty.
6. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -for example, closed glass jars- are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
7. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
8. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING:
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded and 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 appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are 120 volts 60 Hz, AC only, and 15 amps. 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 outlet properly installed and grounded.

Power Cord

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from 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:
   1. a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
   2. b) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Materials you can use

MATERIAL	REMARKS
Browning dish	Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break.
Dinnerware	Use microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Glassware	Use heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bags	Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not close with a metal tie. Make slits to let steam escape.
Paper plates and cups	Use for short–term cooking/warming at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Paper towels	Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. These absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Parchment paper	Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
Plastic	Use only if labeled “microwave safe.” Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Some plastic containers soften as the food inside gets hot. “Boiling bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced, or vented, as indicated on the package.

MATERIAL	REMARKS
Plastic wrap	Use microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture. Do not let plastic wrap touch food.
Thermometers	Use only those labeled “microwave safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers can be used on microwaved food after the food has been removed from your microwave.
Wax paper	Use as a cover to prevent splattering and retain moisture.

Materials to be avoided

MATERIAL	REMARKS
Aluminum tray	May cause arcing. Use a microwave-safe dish instead.
Food carton with metal handle	May cause arcing. Use a microwave-safe dish instead.
Glass jars/bottles	Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and injury.
Metal or metal-trimmed utensils	Metal shields the food from microwave energy. The metal trim may cause arcing.
Metal twist ties	May cause arcing and could cause a fire in your microwave.
Paper bags	May cause a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.
Plastic foam	May melt or contaminate the liquid inside when exposed to high temperatures.
Plastic storage and food containers	Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in your microwave.

Cleaning and maintaining your microwave

Cleaning the outside of your microwave

Exterior
Clean the outside with a damp cloth. If needed you can use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside your microwave, make sure that water does not get into the ventilation openings.

Door
Wipe the window and door on both sides, the door seals, and adjacent parts with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts are easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak, or dull the door surface.

Control panel
If the control panel is dirty, open the microwave door before cleaning to prevent your microwave from turning on. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the door and press STOP/Cancel to clear any buttons you may have pressed.

Cleaning the inside of your microwave

Interior
Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads. For baked-on food, use baking soda or a mild soap, then rinse thoroughly with hot water.

Waveguide cover
The waveguide cover is located on the side wall inside the microwave cavity. It is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.

Removing odors
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in your microwave. To remove, combine one cup (.25 L) of water, grated peel and juice of one lemon, and several whole cloves in a two-cup (.5 L) glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power, then let it cool in your microwave. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.

Turntable
Remove the turntable and wash it in mild, sudsy water. For stubborn stains, use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. You can also wash it in the top rack of a dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately. Clean the ring and the floor regularly to avoid excessive noise. Wipe the bottom surface of your microwave with mild detergent. Wash the ring in mild, soapy water or in a dishwasher. When removing the ring, make sure that you replace it in its original position.
