7 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Electrical requirements Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp fused electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
8 w W ARNING Explosion Hazard Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the microwave oven. Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire, or burns. Magnetron Oven cavity How your microwave oven works Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot.
9 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and are absorbed by the food. Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy.
10 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN For the best cooking results • Always cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. If necessary, touch ADD MINUTE while the oven is operating or after it has completed the cooking cycle (see “Using ADD MINUTE” for more information).

12 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but heat from the food can make the container hot. Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could result. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm because they will continue cooking during standing time.
13 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN Glass turntable Circuit breaker or fuse box Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it allows microwaves to pass through it. Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate freely.
