Caution
Before Use
Before using CONVECTION or COMBINATION function
for the first time, operate this oven without food on
Convection 500˚F for 20 minutes, removing all
accessories from the oven.This will cause the oil that is
used for rust protection to be burned off.
Operation when empty
DO NOT operate the oven empty in the microwave mode.
The microwave energy will reflect continuously
throughout the oven causing overheating, if food or
water is not present to absorb energy. This could
damage the oven and result in a risk of fire.
Service
DO NOT tamper with or make any adjustments or
repairs to door, control panel housing, safety interlock
switches or any other part of the oven.
DO NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs must
be done only by a qualified service person.
Smoke/Fire
If a fire occurs in the oven, press the Stop/Reset Pad
and KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the
fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Hot Surfaces
Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the
cabinet and the oven door will get hot during use.
(Convection and Combination) Take care when opening
or closing door and when inserting or removing food
and accessories.
The oven has heaters situated in the back of the oven.
After use, the ceiling, walls and floor will be very hot.
Fan Motor Operation
After using MICROWAVE, CONVECTION and
COMBINATION, the fan motor always rotates for
approx. 5 minutes to cool the electric components.This
is normal and you can take out food even though the
fan motor is operating.
Storage of Accessories
When the oven is not being used, do not store any
objects other than oven accessories inside the oven in
case it is accidentally turned on. In case of electronic
failure, the oven can only be turned off at the wall
socket or breaker.
Interference
There is a possibility of a small amount of interference
with weak broadcast signals if the oven is too close to a
radio or TV.
General Use
DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in
oven, or use newspapaers or paper bags for cooking.
Fire could result.
DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper
product is labeled as safe for microwave oven use.
Recycled paper products may contain impurities which
may cause sparks, and result in fires when used.
DO NOT hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls
may occur. Fire could result.
POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing
items from the oven. Heat is transferred from the HOT
