IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

with a power cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.

VENT FAN
The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions. Take care to prevent the starting and
spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.
• Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow
grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters.
• In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below
the microwave oven, smother a flaming pan on the
surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a
cookie sheet or a flat tray.
• Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filters.
NOTICE: PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients with
pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.

is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician or service technician
install an outlet near the appliance.
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own
electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of
fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
• When preparing flaming foods under the microwave,
turn the fan on.
• Never leave surface units beneath your microwave
oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread
if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize
automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware
and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.
