SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces 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 an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug 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 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.

The electrical requirements are a 120-volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a properly installed and grounded.

Power Cord

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, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Cleaning and maintaining your microwave

Cleaning the outside of your microwave

Exterior

Clean the outside with a damp cloth. If needed, you can use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside your microwave, make sure that water does not get into the ventilation openings.

Door

Wipe the window and door on both sides, the door seals, and adjacent parts with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts are easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh
cleaners as they may stain, streak, or dull the door surface.

Control panel

If the control panel is dirty, open the microwave door before cleaning to prevent your microwave from turning on. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the door and press STOP/Cancel to clear any buttons you may have pressed.

Cleaning the inside of your microwave

Interior
Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads. For baked-on food, use baking soda or a mild soap, then rinse thoroughly with hot water.

Waveguide cover

The waveguide cover is located on the side wall inside the microwave cavity. It is made from mica, so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.

Removing odors

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in your microwave. To remove, combine one cup (.25 L) of water, grated peel, and juice of one lemon, and several whole cloves in a two-cup (.5 L) glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100%
power, then let it cool in your microwave. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.

Turntable

Remove the turntable and wash it in mild, sudsy water. For stubborn stains, use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. You can also wash it in the top rack of a dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately. Clean the ring and the floor regularly to avoid excessive noise. Wipe the bottom surface of your microwave with mild detergent. Wash the ring in mild, soapy water or in a dishwasher. When removing the ring, make sure that you replace it in its original position.

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem with your microwave, review the following chart for a possible solution. If your microwave still does not work properly, contact the nearest authorized service center.
