Safety
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.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use. If a long cord or extension cord is
used:
1. The marked electricalratingof the cord set orextension 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 thecounter top or tabletop where itcan bepulled on by
children or tripped over accidentally. If you use an extension
cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower mayvary
when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be ,,
longer, too.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord under any circumstances.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are ableto be overheated
beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the
