SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
•
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove the third (grounding)
prong. Do not use an adaptor or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.
•
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you do not understand
the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly
grounded.
•
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the
power-supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman
install an outlet near the appliance. However, if it is necessary to use an
extension cord, read and follow the “Use of Extension Cords” section below.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of your becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords
are available and you can use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or
extension cord:
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 it must be
plugged into a 3-slot outlet.
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
accidentally. If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the
speed of the blower may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times
may be longer too.
20.
Liquids, such as water, milk, coffee, or tea can 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
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury:
•
Do not overheat liquid.
•
Stir liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
•
Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
•
After heating, let containers with liquid stand in the microwave oven for a
short time before removing.
•
Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into a container
holding liquid.
21.
Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted into the
microwave oven as they may create a fire or electric shock.
22.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch
electrical parts creating a risk of electric shock.
23.
Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended
accessories, in this microwave oven when not in use.
24.
Do not cover the racks or any other part of the microwave oven with metal
foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
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
electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding
wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
