properly installed and grounded.
WARNING –Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
•Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service man install an outlet near the appliance.
Testing Containers and Utensils
Some non-metallic containers and utensils become extremely hot when used
in a microwave oven. To avoid risk of scalding, use the following procedure to
determine if a container or utensil is safe for microwave use:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup (250 ml) of cold water. Place it in
the microwave oven along with the container or utensil in question.
2. Turn the oven on maximum power for 1 minute. Do not exceed 1 minute
cooking time.
