Installation Recommendations 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. A WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. 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 information. Automatic Fan Protection feature 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. Microwaving Tips ♦ 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. 4
