Keep cord away from heated surfaces. 14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. 15. Either: a) When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth , or b) When separate cleaning instructions are provided, See door surface cleaning instructions on. 16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other com-bustible 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. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides). Vapours from such corrosive chemicals may interact with the contact and springs of the safety interlock switches thereby rendering them inoperable. 18. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven. 19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire. 20. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. 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 A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons: a) Do not overheat the liquid. b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container. e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 3 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT (U.S.A ONLY) WARNING: This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with limits for an SM equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there's no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following: · Re-orient the receiving antenna of radio or television. · Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver. · Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits. THE MANUFACTURER is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for 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 grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, and either: (1) If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only an extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. Tine marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance, or (2) Do not use an extension cord, if the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance. 4 INSTALLATION 1 2 3 4 5 6 Examine the oven after unpacking Check for damage such as a mis-aligned door, broken door or a dent in the cavity. If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify your dealer immediately. Level, flat location Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface. Ventilation Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause a failure. For proper ventilation, allow 3 inches of space between oven top, sides, rear and adjacent surfaces Away from radio and TV sets Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna, etc. Place the oven as far from them as possible. Away from heating appliances and water taps Keep the oven away from heat, steam or splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect oven wiring and contacts. Power supply This microwave oven requires a power supply of approximately 15 Amperes, 120 Volts, 60Hz and a grounded outlet. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the user 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. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the oven. The extension cord must be a grounding type 3-wire cord. The longer cord should be arranged so it does not drape over the tabletop or counter where children can pull on it or trip over it. 5 USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY GENERAL USE Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks. Do not place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue to build up on the sealing surfaces. Wipe with mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads. Do not subject the oven door strain or weight such as a child hanging on an open door. This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury to you and damage to the oven. Do not operate the oven if door sears or seals surfaces are damaged or if door is bent; or if hinges are loose or broken. Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the oven. Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven they may catch on fire. Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities, which may cause sparks or fires. Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects. This can damage the oven. FOOD Never use your microwave oven for home canning. The oven is not designed for proper home canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather than overcook foods. Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or catch on fire. Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins. These must be pierced before heating 6 SPECIFICATIONS POWER SUPPLY POWER CONSUMPTION MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER FREQUENCY OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS (W X H X D) CAVITY DIMENSIONS (W X H X D) NET WEIGHT TIMER POWER LEVELS 120V AC 60 Hz SINGLE PHASE WITH GROUNDING 1500 W 1100 W 2450 MHz 589 X 339 X 464 mm (23.2X13.3X18.3 in.) 399 X 263 X 426 mm (15.7X10.4X16.8 in.)
