Installation & Grounding Instructions
Radio Interference
1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV or similar
equipment.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven
(See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on
page 25)
b. Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the
microwave oven as far as possible.
c. Use a properly installed antenna to obtain
stronger signal reception.
Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven
IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends upon the power, the
time setting and quantity of food. If you use a
smaller portion than recommended but cook at
the time for the recommended portion, fire could
result.
1) HOME CANNING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL
QUANTITIES OF FOODS
G
DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your
oven cannot maintain the food at the proper
canning temperature. The food may be
contaminated and then spoil.
G
DO NOT use the microwave oven to sterilize
objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep
the oven at the high temperature needed for
sterilization.
G DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in
your oven. Small quantities of food or foods with
low moisture content can dry out, scorch or
catch on fire if overheated.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For proper use of your oven read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions.

Fan Motor Operation
After using the oven, the fan rotate to cook the
electric components. This is perfectly normal, and
you can take out the food from the oven while the
fan operates.

Practical Hints

2) POPCORN
Popcorn must be popped in a microwave oven
corn popper. Microwave popcorn which pops in its
own package is also available. Follow popcorn
manufacturers' directions and use a brand suitable
for the cooking power of your microwave oven.
CAUTION:
When using pre-packaged microwave
popcorn, you can follow recommended
package instructions or use the popcorn pad
(refer to page 17). Otherwise, the popcorn
may not pop adequately or may ignite and
cause a fire. Never leave oven unattended
when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn
bag to cool before opening, always open the
bag away from your face and bod to prevent
steam burns.
3) DEEP FAT FRYING
G
DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven.
Cooking oils may burst into flames and may cause
damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns.
Microwave utensils may not withstand the
temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.
4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS
G DO NOT COOK/REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH
OR WITHOUT THE SHELL. Steam buildup in
whole eggs may cause them to explode, and
possibly damage the oven or cause injury.
Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and
cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
G
Potatoes, apples, whole squash and
sausages are examples of foods with non-
porous skins. These types of foods must be
pierced before microwave cooking to prevent
them from exploding.
CAUTION: Cooking dry or old potatoes can
cause fire.
