2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS" on page 4.
4. Install or locate this appliance in accordance with
the provided installation instructions. Do not mount
over a sink.
5. This over-the-range oven was designed for use
over ranges no wider than 22 inches. It may be
installed over both gas and electric cooking
equipment.
6. For best operation, plug this appliance into its own
electrical outlet, to prevent flickering of lights,

7. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers-for example, closed glass jars-may
explode and should not be heated in this oven. In
rare instances, poached eggs have been known to
explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a
standing time of one minute before cutting into
them.
8. Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as
potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken
livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see
previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam
to escape during cooking. "Boilable" cooking
pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be
slit, pierced, or vented.
9. Do not heat, store or use flammable materials in or
near the oven. Fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
