IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING-To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
11. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
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.
12. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 1.
13. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 4.
17. 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.
14. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
15. 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.
16. 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.
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.
17. As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
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.
18. 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.
19. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel.
e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.
Contact nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
18. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive
chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides).
Vapors from such corrosive chemicals may interact
with the contact and springs of the safety interlock
switches thereby rendering them inoperable.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this
product near water — for example, near a kitchen
sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or
similar locations.
19. 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.
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. 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.
20. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot
control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire.
21. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in
place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating
base.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend 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.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
WARNING:
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television
reception.
It has been type-tested and found to comply with limits for an ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC
Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential
installation.
However, there is 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 followings.
• Reorient 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 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, the 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 use of the 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 a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The 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.
WARNING:
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

INSTALLATION
1. Examine the oven after unpacking.
Check for damage such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity.
If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify your dealer immediately.
2. Level, flat location.
Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface.
3. 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 4 inches (10.16 cm) of space between oven top, sides, rear and adjacent surfaces.
4. 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,
feeder, etc.
Place the oven as far from them as possible.
5. 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.
6. Power supply.
• Check your local power source.
This microwave oven requires a current of approximately 12 amperes, 120Volts, 60Hz grounded outlet.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
7. The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is about 4 inches (10.16 cm).
When use 3-pronged plug
When use grounding adaptor, make sure
the receptacle box is fully grounded.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* Q :Can the oven be used with the glass tray or
roller guide removed?
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must
always be used in the oven before cooking.
* Q :What does “standing time” mean?
* A : “Standing time” means that food should be
removed from the oven and covered for
additional time to allow it to finish cooking. This
frees the oven for other cooking.
* Q :Can I open the door when the oven is
operating?
* A : The door can be opened anytime during the
cooking operation. Then microwave energy will
be instantly switched off and the time setting
will maintain until the door is closed.
* Q :Why does my oven not always cook as fast
as the microwave cooking guide says?
* A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure
you’ve followed directions exactly ; and to see
what might cause variations in cooking time.
Cooking guide times and heat settings are
suggestions, to help prevent over-cooking... the
most common problem in getting used to a
microwave oven.
* Q :Why do I have moisture in my microwave
oven after cooking?
* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave
oven is normal. It is caused by steam from
cooking food hitting the cool oven surface.
Variations in the size, shape and weights and
dimensions could require longer cooking time.
Use your own judgement along with the
cooking guide suggestions to check whether
the food has been properly cooked just as you
would do with a conventional cooker.
* Q :Does microwave energy pass through the
viewing screen in the door?
* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy
to the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow
light to pass through. They do not let
* Q :Will the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates while empty?
microwave energy pass through.
* A : Yes. Never run it empty.
* Q :Why do eggs sometimes pop?
* A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may
pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk
membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the
yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never
cook eggs without piercing their shells.
* Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without
the turntable or turn the turntable over to
hold a large dish?
* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable,
you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used
in your oven must fit on the turntable.
* Q :Why this standing time recommended after
the cooking operation has been completed?
* A : Standing time is very important.
* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either
direction?
With microwave cooking, the heat is in the
food, not in the oven. Many foods build up
enough internal heat to allow the cooking
process to continue, even after the food is
removed from the oven. Standing time for joints
of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow
the inside to cook completely, without
* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or
counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of
the motor when the cooking cycle begins.
* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn
following manufacture’s guidelines. Do not use
regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by
stopping the oven as soon as the popping
slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not
repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn
in glass cookware.

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 sealing
surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry.
Never use abrasive powders or pads.
Do not subject the oven door to 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 seals or sealing
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.
temperature to even out, stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent
eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put
a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir
before, during and after heating.
Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.
Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is the
commercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product.
The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paper
bag.
Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly
on the oven tray. Place the package on a microwave
safe glass or ceramic plate to avoid overheating and
cracking the oven tray.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are
examples of food with non-porous skins.
These must be pierced before cooking to prevent
bursting.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds
after the oven has been switched off to allow the
Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers
suggested popping time.
Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but it can
result in buring the popcorn or risk of fire. Remember,
the Popcorn bag and tray can be too hot to handle.
Remove with caution and use pot holders.
ARCING
If you see arcing, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and correct the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.
Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like
antennas).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed
dishes, in the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces
being used in the microwave.
