READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE. 2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on inside front cover. 3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" on page 5. 4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions. 5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers--for example, closed glass jars--are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven. 6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use. 7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children. 8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped. 9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest DCS Authorized Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment. 10.

Do not use this product near water--for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations. 12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water. 13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. 14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. 15. See door surface cleaning instructions on page 27. 16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven. c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use. 17. Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 3 Unpacking and Installation Inst ructions Unpacking and Examining Your Oven Remove: all packing materials from inside the oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the right cavity wall. Read enclosures and SAVE the Operation Manual. Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact your dealer or DCS AUTHORIZED SERVICER. OVER OVEN INSTALLATION TOP OF MICROWAVE SHELF MICROWAVE CUTOUT 1" (25MM) WALL OVEN CUTOUT 40 1/4" (1022MM) Choosing a Location for Your Oven on the counter You will use the oven frequently so plan its location for ease of use. It's wise, if possible, to have counter space on at least one side of the oven. Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air circulation. OVER WARMING OVEN INSTALLATION Choosing a Location for Your Oven if built-in Your oven can be built into a cabinet or wall by itself or above any DCS wall oven listed below using DCS's Built-in Kits, either the MOSTK27 or the MOSTK30. The MOSTK27 is for a 27" wall oven, while the MOSTK30 accommodates installation above 30" wall ovens. TRIM KIT FRAME ASSEMBLE MICROWAVE CUTOUT 2" (51MM) WARMING OVEN CUTOUT RECOMMENDED HEIGHT 36" (914MM) OVEN FRONT The applicable wall ovens and warming ovens are as follows: OVENS - WO 127, WO 130, WOS127, WOS130 WARMING OVENS - WD 27, WD 30, WDS27, WDS30, WDSI Do not built-in above any other gas or electric wall oven. See Built-in Kit Installation Instructions for proper location when building in above the specified wall ovens. Carefully follow both the wall oven installation instructions and Built-in Kit instructions. The opening in the wall or cabinet must be within the following dimensions: A HEIGHT B WIDTH C DEPTH : 17" + 1/16", -0 : 24 3/4" + 1/16", -0 : minimum 20" 4 Unpacking and Installation Inst ructions Outlet should NOT be in the shaded area as indicated. 1. If the dimension of DEPTH (C) is more than 21", the outlet location may be any area on the rear wall. 2. The floor of the opening should be constructed of plywood strong enough to support the weight of the oven and floor load 6" 4" (about 100 pounds). The floor should be level for proper operation of the oven. Be sure to check the local building code as it may require that the opening be enclosed with sides, ceiling and rear partition. The proper functioning of the oven does not require the enclosure. Call toll-free: 1-888-281-5698 for ordering the kit to be sent to your address. The kit includes all the necessary parts and easy-tofollow instructions for installation as well as location of the power supply. The MOSTK27 (27") and MOSTK30 (30") kits include simulated frames, which match the MO-24SS microwave oven. The ease of assembly for these kits will allow installation into an existing wall opening in less than an hour (if power outlet is already properly located). All it takes are four steps and a Phillips screw driver. A 4" C B Grounding Inst ructions This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. WARNING ­ Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Electrical Requirements The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle. A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension Cord 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 microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should ...
