To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave oven energy when using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific: "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" found on page 1.

3. As with most cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a fire in the oven cavity.

4. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

i) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. ii) Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers/bags before placing them in the oven. iii) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed. Turn the oven off, and unplug the appliance. Disconnect the power cord, shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

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

v) Never operate an empty microwave oven. Arcing or sparking in the oven cavity may occur.

1. This oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" found on page 3.

2. Install or locate this oven only in accordance with the installation instructions provided.

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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard

Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard

An improperly grounded appliance can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.

Three-pronged

(grounding) plug

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. To protect against electrical shock, this appliance is equipped with a cord having a 3-prong grounding-type plug for insertion into a proper grounding-type receptacle. DO NOT alter the plug for use in a 2-prong receptacle. DO NOT use a 3-prong adapter to enable the microwave to be plugged into a 2-prong receptacle. If the plug will not fit into a receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

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. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that h as a 3-pronged 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.

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 sets or extension cord is used:
   i) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
   ii) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
   iii) 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.

Radio interference

1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

i) Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
ii) Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
iii) Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
iv) Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
v) Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

CAUTION UTENSILS

Personal injury Hazard Tightly-closed utensils could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced before cooking.

See the instructions on "Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in microwave oven." There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the utensil in question following the procedure below.

Utensils Test:

1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.
4. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.

SAFE AND UNSAFE MATERIALS
