INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before you begin operating the oven, carefully read the following instructions.
1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with
a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as a
door that isn’t lined up correctly, damage around
the door, or dents inside the oven or on the exterior.
If there is any damage, do not operate the oven
until an authorized service technician has checked
it and made any needed repairs.
2. Put the oven on a cart, counter, table, or shelf that is
strong enough to hold the oven and the food and
utensils you put in it. (The control side of the unit
is the heavy side. Use care when handling the
oven.) The weight of the oven is about 30 lbs. The
microwave oven should be at a temperature above
50°F for proper operation.
NOTE: Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake
openings. Allow a few inches of space at the back
and side of the oven where the exhaust vents are
located. Blocking the exhaust vents could cause
damage to the oven and poor cooking results. Make
sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure
proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive
thermal safety device automatically turns the oven off.
The oven will not work until it has cooled.
wWARNING
