Unpacking

1. Empty the microwave oven of any packing materials.
2. Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Check for damage, such as:
A door that is not lined up correctly,
n
Damage around the door, or
n
Dents on the interior or exterior of the microwave oven.
n
If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave
oven until a designated service technician has checked
it and made any needed repairs.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not remove
microwave inlet cover. See the "Parts and Features" section.

Location Requirements

Place the microwave oven on a cart, counter, table, or shelf
n
that is strong enough to hold the microwave oven and the
food and utensils you place inside it.
The microwave oven should be at a temperature above
n
50°F (10°C) for proper operation.
Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow
n
a few inches of space at the back and side of the microwave
oven where the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the
exhaust vents could cause damage to the microwave oven
as well as poor cooking results.
Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure
n
proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal
device may automatically turn the microwave oven off. The
microwave oven should work properly once it has cooled.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For all cord connected appliances:
I
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The microwave oven 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 microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven. A short power supply
cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
