SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking 
equipment.

Intended to be used above ranges with maximum 
width of 36 inches.

Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should 
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. 
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven 
cleaners, may damage the filter.

Do not cover or block any openings on the micro-
wave oven. 

Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not 
use the microwave oven near water - for example, 
near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a 
swimming pool, or similar locations.

Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

Do not mount over a sink.

Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not 
be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create
a fire or risk of electric shock.

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can 
burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a 
risk of electric shock.

Do not use paper products when appliance is operat-
ed in the “PAN BROWN” mode (on models with this 
feature). 

Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s 
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in 
use.

Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with 
metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave 
oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be 
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing 
to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the 
container is removed from the microwave oven is not 
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT 
LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE 
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR 
OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

– 

Do not overheat the liquid.

– 

Stir the liquid both before and halfway through 

heating it.

– 

Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow 

necks.

– 

After heating, allow the container to stand in the 

microwave oven for a short time before removing 
the container.

– 

Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other 

utensil into the container.

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.

(c)

particularly important that the oven door close 
properly and that there is no damage to the: 

(1)

(3)

Door seals and sealing surfaces.
