Utensil Test:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250 mL) along with the utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power (PL 10) for 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.
Do not exceed 1 minute testing time.

UTENSILS
Properly polarized and grounded outlet
• Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.
Electric Shock Hazard
WARNING
• Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
Electric Shock Hazard
DANGER
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
This appliance 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. This appliance 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.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as
to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long cord or extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord
set or extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
2) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
