PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Location of Model Number

To request service information or replacement parts,

the service center requires the complete model

number of your microwave oven. The model number

is on the oven back as shown in the illustration below.

Model number label

Electrical Requirements

The oven is designed to operate on a Standard 120

V/60 Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at

least 15 A or 20 A and the microwave oven is the only

appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50 Hz

or any circuit other than a 120 V/60 Hz circuit.

No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits

should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed

electrician.

Voltage Warning

The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the

same as specified on the oven name plate located

on the back or on the side of the control panel of the

oven. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may

result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven

damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. If the

microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of

proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.

Placement of the Oven

The microwave oven can be placed easily in your

kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home.

Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen

countertop or a specially designed microwave oven

cart. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range.

Free airflow around the oven is important. Allow at

least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of

the oven for proper ventilation.

Do Not Block Air Vents

All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If

air vents are covered during oven operation the oven

may overheat. If this happens, a sensitive thermal

safety device automatically turns the oven off. The

oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

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 grounding can result in a

risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the

grounding instructions are not completely understood,

or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is

properly grounded.

1. Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If

the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified

electrician or service person install an outlet near

the appliance.

2. 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 must be equal to or greater

than the electrical rating of the appliance.

NOTE

•

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce

the risks resulting from becoming entangled in

or tripping over a longer cord.

•

Longer cord sets or extension cords are

available and may be used if care is exercised

in their use.

•

If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1)

the marked electrical rating of the cord set or

extension cord must be at least as great as

the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the

extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire

cord, and (3) the longer cord should not be

draped over a counter or table where children

could pull on it, or located where it could

present a trip hazard.

See the separate Installation Instructions for

directions on placing the cord properly.

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch

or crush it in any way.

12 MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS Microwave Cooking Tips Microwave Cookware Guide Use Do Not Use OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high intensity heat): utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim. METAL CONTAINERS: Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal containers can cause arcing, which can damage the microwave oven.
PAGE 6
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 13 Microwave-Safe Cookware Never use metal or metal trimmed cookware when using microwave function Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning. Most heat resistant non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your oven. However, some may contain materials that render it unsuitable as microwave cookware.

14 MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS Microwave Cooking Tips Keeping an Eye on Things Always watch your food while it cooks. The light inside the microwave oven turns on automatically when the oven is cooking so you can monitor the cooking process. Directions given in recipes to elevate, stir, and the like should be thought of as the minimum steps recommended. If the food seems to be cooking unevenly, simply make the necessary adjustments you think appropriate to correct the problem.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 15 Shielding Strips of aluminium foil (which block microwaves) can be placed over the corners or edges of square and rectangular foods to prevent those portions from overcooking. Never use too much foil and make sure the foil is secured to the dish or it may cause arcing in the oven especially if the foil passes too closely to the walls of the oven during rotation.
