IMPORTANTGROUNDING
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. Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly
grounded outlet of standard 115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your
oven should be the only appliance on this circuit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 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 blower may vary 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.
NoteConnect the oven to a 20A circuit.
When connecting the oven to 15A circuit, make sure
that circuit breaker is operable.
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 THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER 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 straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
