Important Grounding Instructions
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 power cord having a grounding wire with a ground- ing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is porperly installed and grounded.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet neat the appliance.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
1.Do not overheat the liquid.
2.Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
3.Do not use
4.After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
5.Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances
THE VENT FAN
The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see page 14).Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.
•Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters.
•In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan com- pletely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.
•Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as
•When preparing flaming foods under the micro- wave, turn the fan on.
•Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan opera- tion, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.
