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
grounding 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 instruc-
tions or if you are not sure if the appliance is
properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord with this appli-
ance. If the power cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service technician
install an outlet neat the appliance.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord under any circum-
stances
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
completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat
tray.
• Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters.
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based
oven cleaners, may damage the filters.
• When preparing flaming foods under the micro-
wave, turn the fan on.
• Never leave surface units beneath your
microwave oven unattended at high heat set-
tings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite and spread if the
microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize
automatic fan operation, use adequate sized
cookware and use high heat on surface units
only when necessary.
