SAFETY - SUPERHEATED LIQUID

Liquids are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to the surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling will not always be present when the liquid is removed from the appliance. This could result in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over when a utensil or other item such as a tea bag is inserted into the liquid.

To reduce the risk of injury:

• Do not overheat liquids. Do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup.
  • Stir liquids before and halfway through heating.
• Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks as this can cause a build up of steam.
• Superheated liquid can begin to spontaneously boil when removed from the microwave. After heating, allow the liquid to stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before removing.
• Use extreme care when inserting a utensil or other item into hot liquids.
• The contents of milk bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before serving in order to avoid burns.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages, especially carbonated beverages, in this appliance as they could explode.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any container that has been heated in the appliance. Direct the opening away from hands and face to avoid burns.

SAFETY - ARCING

Arcing refers to sparks inside the microwave while it is in operation. Arcing is caused by:

• Metal or foil inside the appliance.
- Recycled paper towels being used inside the appliance, as these can contain small pieces of metal.

If arcing is present, stop operation and remove any metal or paper towels from the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE INSTALLATION TEMPLATE

There are three different types of cabinetry that will change how the rear wall template should be used to determine where to install the mounting bracket.

Notes:

• Any decorative trim on the cabinetry or wall should be removed before installing the microwave.
• Use a level to ensure that the template is level before marking the wall. The microwave must be level to ensure proper functioning.
• At least three screws must be used to install the mounting plate. At least one of those screws must be in a wall stud.

Plate Position: beneath flat bottom cabinet

1/4" Minimum clearance 16 1/2" C At least 30"

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" wide space Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall matching the centerline and touching the bottom of the cabinet

Plate Position: Beneath recessed bottom cabinet with front overhang

14" Minimum clearance 14" Minimum clearance 30" to cooktop

Draw a line on the back wall equal to the depth of the front overhang

If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no back or side frame, install the mounting plate down the same distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave level.

Plate Position: Beneath framed recessed cabinet bottom

14" Minimum clearance 30" to cooktop C

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" space. Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall matching the centerline and touching the bottom of the cabinet frame.

1. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" (76.2cm) wide space.
2. Draw a horizontal line on the wall at the bottom of "Rear Wall Template".
3. Find a wall stud in area "E" of mounting plate.
4. For attaching the mounting plate into the stud, drill a 3/16" (4.77mm) hole into the stud. Drill a 5/8" (15.88mm) hole for toggle bolt in 1 location (Hole A or Hole B).

NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.

NOTE: Holes A and B are inside area E. If neither of Holes A and B are not in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E and draw a circle to line up with the stud. It is important to have at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave. Set the mounting plate aside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

HOOD EXHAUST

This microwave is designed for adaptation to three types of ventilation: outside top exhaust, outside back exhaust and non-venting ductless recirculation. Use the following duct instructions if the appliance will be vented to the outside.

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3 1/4" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 5"(12.7 cm) diameter/6" (15.2 cm) diameter round duct. Round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet (42.7 m). Outside ventilation requires and EXTERNAL EXHAUST DUCT.

Elbows, transitions, wall caps and roof caps present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer than the actual physical size. When calculating the total duct length add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections. The chart below is an example of one possible installation configuration.

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)

The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.

DUCT PIECES EQUIVALENT		LENGTH	X	NUMBER USED	=	EQUIVALENT LENGTH
	Roof cap	24 ft (7.3m) X	(1)	= 24 ft (7.3m)
[SETW]	12 ft. straight duct (6" round)	12 ft (3.66m)	X	(1) =		12 ft (3.66m)
	Rectangular to round transition adapter	5 ft (1.5m) X	(1)	= 5 ft (1.5m)
TOTAL LENGTH					= 4	1 ft (12.5m)

IMPORTANT: If a rectangular to round transition adapter is used, the bottom corners of the damper must be cut to fit using tin snips to allow free movement of the damper.

IMPORTANT: It is important that venting be installed using the most direct route with as few elbows as possible. This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent blockages. Make sure dampers swing freely and nothing is blocking the ducts.

COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE

RECOMMENDED

Microwave Browning Dish: Used to brown the exterior of small food items. Follow the directions provided with the browning dish.

Microwavable Plastic Wrap: Used to retain steam. Leave a small opening to avoid a build up of steam. Do not place directly on food.

Glass and Ceramic Bowls and Dishes: Use for heating or cooking.

Paper Plates and Cups: Use for short term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper as they can contain metal and could ignite.

Paper Towels and Napkins: Use for short term heating and covering. Do not use recycled paper towels as they can contain metal and could ignite.

Wax Paper: Use as a cover to prevent splattering.

Thermometers: Only use those that are labeled "microwave safe" and follow all directions.

Note: To check if a dish is safe for use in the microwave, place the empty dish in the appliance and microwave on high for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, it should not be used.

LIMITED USE

Aluminum Foil: Using too much foil can cause arcing and damage the appliance. Keep a distance of at least 1 inch (2.6 cm) between the foil and the inside of the appliance.

Ceramic, Porcelain, Plastic and Stoneware: Only use if they are labeled "microwave safe".

NOT RECOMMENDED

Glass Jars and Bottles: Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage or injury.

Styrofoam Plates and Cups: These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.

Plastic Storage and Food Containers: These can melt and ignite.

Metal Utensils: These can cause arcing and damage to the appliance. Remove all metal before operation.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

To achieve the best results when cooking in this appliance, follow the suggestions below.

STIRRING

Stir foods while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and will heat more quickly so stir from the outside of the dish toward the center.

ARRANGEMENT

Arrange unevenly shaped foods thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable so they receive more heat. To prevent overcooking, place delicate items toward the center of the turntable.

SHIELDING

Delicate foods can be shielded with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Use only small amounts of foil as this can cause arcing and damage to the appliance.

TURNING

Turn food over midway through cooking to expose all parts to the microwave energy. This is important with large items and meat.

STANDING

Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially meats and liquids. All liquids should be allowed to stand for a few minutes after cooking and should be shaken or stirred before consuming.

ADDING MOISTURE

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered and allowed to stand after cooking to allow the heat to disperse evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
