excessive microwave energy.

• Read all the instructions before using your oven.

• Do not allow children to use this oven without

close supervision.

• Readandfollowthe specificPRECAUTIONS TO

AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY found

on page 2.

• Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors, such as

sulfide and chloride, 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.

the cavity when not in use.

• Clean the ventilating hood frequently. Do not

allow grease to accumulate on the hood or the

filters.

• Use care when cleaning the vent hood filters.

Corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-based oven

cleaners may damage the filters.

• Do not tamper with the built-in safety switches

on the oven door. The oven has several built-in

safety switches to make sure the power is off when

the door is open.

• If food flames under the hood, turn the fan on.

• Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking

equipment 36 inches wide or less.

• Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.

• If your oven is dropped or damaged, have it

thoroughly checked by a qualified service technician

before using it again.

• To avoid a fire hazard:

- Do not severely overcook food. Severely

overcooked foods can start a fire in the oven.

Watch the oven carefully, especially if you have

paper, plastic, or other combustibles in the oven.

- Do not store combustible items (bread,

cookies, etc.) in the oven, because if lightning

strikes the power lines it may cause the oven to

turn on.

- Do not use wire twist4ies in the oven. Be sure

to inspect purchased items for wire twist-ties and

remove them before placing the item in the oven.

• If a fire should start:

- Keep the oven door closed.

- Turn the oven off.

- Disconnect the power cord or shut off the

power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

• To avoid electric shock:

- This appliance must be grounded. Connect it

only to a properly grounded outlet. See the

electrical GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

on page 6.

- 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.

- Do not immerse the electrical cord or plug

in water.

browning dish. Ifyou use a browning dish

incorrectly, you could damage the oven floor.

• Install or locate this appliance only in accordance

with the provided installation instructions.

• This appliance should be serviced only by qualified

service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized

service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

• Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can be

overheated beyond the boiling point without

appearing to be boiling. 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 THE

CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR

OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons;

- Do not overheat the liquid.

- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through

heating it.

SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS

FEDERALCOMMUNICATIONSCOMMISSIONRADIO FREQUENCY

INTERFERENCESTATEMENT( 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 manufacturer's

instructions, may cause interference to radio and

television reception. It has been type tested and

found to comply with limits for 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. Ifthis 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:

• Reorient the receiving antenna of the 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 the 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.

Please read this owner's manual. It will tell you how

This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical

short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of

electric shock by providing an escape wire for the

electric current. The cord for this appliance has a

grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into

an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING -If youusethe grounding

plug improperly, you risk electric shock.

Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the

grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the

appliance is properly grounded.

Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a

short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation

Instructions for directions on placing the cord properly.

Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or

crush it in any way.

SENSOR OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite

foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.

The display will indicate sensor category during the initial

sensing period. The oven automatically determines

required cooking time for each food item.

When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of

humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how

much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining

heating time. For best results for cooking by Sensor,

follow these recommendations:

1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at

normal storage temperature.

2. The glass tray and the outside of the container should

be dry to assure best cooking results.

3. Foods should always be covered loosely with

microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.

4. Do not open the door or touch STOP/CLEAR during

the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven

beeps twice and the remaining cooking time will appear

in the display window. At this time you can open the

door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good

Sensor cooking results.

1.Always use microwavable containers and cover them

with lids or vented plastic wrap.

2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can

prevent steam from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

3. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill

containers at least half full for best results.

4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the

inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing

food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam

can mislead the sensor.
