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 cord with a grounding wire and
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
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. If it is necessary
to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the appliance.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or an extension cord should
not be used unless the following precautions
are followed (see 3, below).
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should match the rating of the
appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over.

MATERIALS YOU CAN USE IN MICROWAVE
Arcing is sparks or electric flashes that crackle or pop. Arcing can produce heat that is quite intense
and can damage the interior of the microwave or containers being used in the microwave. It can also
cause fire.
Arcing occurs when certain metals are used in the microwave. To prevent arcing, use the charts below to
determine which materials are microwave safe, or follow instructions from container/wrap manufacturer.
Plastic cookware should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short
periods of overcooking.
In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with
the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not microwave empty containers.
Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.
