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.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 pronged outlet. Do not remove the third
(grounding) prong. Do not use an adaptor or otherwise defeat the grounding
plug.
• Consult a qualied electrician or service person if you do not understand
the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly
grounded.
18. 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:
A. Do not overheat liquid.
B. Stir liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
C. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
D. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a
short time before removing the container.
E. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
19. Oversized food or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted into the
microwave / toaster oven as they may cause a re or electric shock.
20. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. A piece of metal could come off the
pad, contact electrical parts, and cause an electric shock.
21. Do not put paper products into the oven when you are operating it in the
toaster mode.
22. Do not store any materials, other than the manufacturer’s recommended
accessories, in this oven when not in use.

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 icker and the
speed of the blower may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times
may be longer too.
