SAFETYFACT
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water,
coffee or tea are able to

the boiling point without
appearing to he 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

WARNING
Improper use of the
grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock.
This al/t)liance must be
grounded. In tile event of
an electrical short (ir(uit,
grom/(ling red uces the
risk of electric shock b_
providing an escape wire
tot the ele(tric current.
This appliance is equit_ped
with a power (ord having
a gr(mnding wire with a
gr(mnding t/lug. The l/lug
must be t/lugged imo an
outlet that is t_roperly
installed and gromlde(t.
Consuh a qualitied electrician
or setMce technician il tlle
g_xmn(ting instructions are
not completely mlderstood,
or il (Ioul)t exists as to
whether the applian(e is
t/rol/efly gTom/ded.
If the outlet is a standard
2-t/rong wall outlet, it is
your t/ersonal resl/onsibility
and ot)lig_ltion to ha_e it
replaced with a prollerly
gr(mnded 3-prong wall
outlet.
Do not m/(ter any
circmnstances cut or
remove the third

For best operation,
phtg this al_pliame into
