Cooking appliances installed under the microwave oven
may, under some heavy usage conditions, cause
temperatures high enough to overheat some internal
parts of the microwave oven.
To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust
fan is designed to automatically turn on at a low speed if

excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the
fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will
automatically turn off when the internal parts have
cooled. The fan may stay on for up to an hour after the
range and microwave oven controls have been turned
off.

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave
oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass cooking
dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china
dinnerware, which does not have metallic trim or
glaze with metallic sheen, can be used.

If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use
this test: Place in the oven the dish you are testing and
a glass measuring cup filled with one cup of water.
Set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.

Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it
should not be used for microwaving. If the dish
remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then
the dish is microwave-safe.

Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be

used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and
prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so
steam can escape.

Remove all packing materials both outside and inside the
oven before using the oven. The oven requires free
movement of air for proper operation. Do NOT block air
vents located by the top air grill and underneath the oven.

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 a 120v, 15amp. outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.

Where standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is your personal reponsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do not under any circumstance cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use
an adapter plug with this appliance. See pages 1 and
2 of the Installation Manual for acceptable extension
cord specifications.

Interference Note

Microwave ovens generate radio frequency energy
during operation and if not installed properly may
cause interference to radio and television reception.
You can determine if this unit is causing interference
by turning it on and off while the interference is
occurring. If interference occurs, it may be corrected
by one or more of the following measures:

clean door and seal surfaces of the oven;

reorient the television or radio receiving antenna;

the oven with respect to the television or radio
receiver, and/or

Plug the oven into a different oulet so that it and the
television or radio receiver are on different circuits.

If the interference persists, you may want to consult
an experienced radio/television technician for
additional

WARNING 

Improper use of the grounding

plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
