■

Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID

POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE

ENERGY” found in this section.

■

Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars - are able to explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

■

The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section and in the provided Installation Instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■

Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

■

As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

■

Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

■

The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

■

Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.

■

Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.

■

Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

■

Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

■

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

■

See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave

Oven Care” section.

■

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

■

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS

SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER

IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS

INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

– Do not overheat the liquid.

– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

– After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

■

Do not mount over a sink.

■

Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

■

Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

■

When flambéing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

■

Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking equipment.

■

Intended to be used above ranges with maximum width of

36" (91.44 cm).

– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.

■

Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

– If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1) Door (bent),

(2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),

(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

■

For all cord connected appliances:

The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven 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 microwave oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Required:

■

A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply with a fuse or circuit breaker.

Recommended:

■

■

A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.

A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.

This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.

If you experience Recommended Solutions

Microwave oven will not operate

Arcing in the microwave oven

Check the following:

■

Household fuse or circuit breaker If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped, replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

■

■

■

Magnetron - Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does not heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service.

Door Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door, remove it, then firmly close door.

If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle.

Control - Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. Make sure Demo Mode (on some models) is off.

Check the following:

■

Soil buildup Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in “Microwave Oven Care” section.

Turntable alternates rotation directions

■

This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.

Display shows messages

Fan running during cooktop usage

■

■

■

A flashing “:” or “PF” means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.

A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.

This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan (on some models), which is separate from the vent fan, automatically comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. It may also automatically come on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the cooktop below is being used.

Radio, TV or cordless phone interference

Check the following:

■

Proximity Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the radio or TV antenna.

■

■

Soil Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean.

Frequency Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static or noise while microwave oven is on. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone, or avoid using these items during microwave oven operation.
