IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MICROWAVE
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the microwave.
This microwave must be grounded. Connect only to property grounded outlets.
Install or place this microwave only in accordance with installation instructions.
Some products, such as sealed glass jars, may explode and should not be heated in this microwave.
This microwave is intended for use only as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals
or vapors in this microwave. This type of microwave is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry
foods. It is not designed for laboratory use.
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to the microwave when paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the microwave to facilitate cooking.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing in microwave.
If materials inside the microwave should ignite, keep microwave door closed, turn it off, and
disconnect the power cord or turn off the power fuse at the circuit breaker panel.
Do not use the microwave cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea may overheat beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container
is removed form the microwave is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT
LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury: do not overheat the liquid; stir the liquid both
before and halfway through heating; do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks; after
heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave a short time before removing; use extreme
care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying in this microwave. It is difficult to control the temperature of
oil in the microwave.
Pierce foods with heavy skins, such as potatoes, before cooking.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature
should be checked before serving to avoid burns.
Cooking utensils may become hot from heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be
needed to handle these utensils.
Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave.
Do not store or use this microwave outdoors. Do not use this microwave near water.
Do not operate this microwave if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it
has been damaged or dropped.
Do not immerse the cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the
cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Use only thermometers specifically designed for microwaves.
Do not operate any heating or cooking under this microwave.
Be certain the tray and roller rings are in place when using the microwave.

residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the microwave if damaged. It is particularly important that the microwave door be
properly closed and there is no damage to the door, hinges and latches, or door seals and sealing
surfaces.
The microwave should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

When cleaning microwave surface and door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Make sure all packing materials are removed from inside the microwave door.
Check the microwave for damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing
surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches, and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there
are any damages, do not operate the microwave and contact Customer Service at 1-866-866-6283.
This microwave must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest food
likely to be cooked inside.
Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated. Do not place
microwave near combustible materials.
For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 8” of space above the
microwave, 4” at the back, and 2” on each side of the unit. Do not cover or block any openings on
the microwave. Do not remove microwave feet.
Do not operate the oven without the tray, roller support, and shaft in their proper positions.
Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the microwave or over any
hot or sharp surface.
The socket must be readily accessible so the microwave can be easily unplugged in an emergency.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This microwave must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements for this microwave are a 120V, 60Hz, AC only, 20 amp.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the microwave be provided.
The microwave is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall outlet
properly installed and grounded.

POWER CORD
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is taken in using them.
If using a longer cord, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical marking of the microwave itself and the extension cord must be
a grounded-type 3-wire cord. The longer cord should be arranged so it will not drape over the
counter or tabletop.
