MICROWAVE-SAFECOOKWARE
Make sure all cookware used in vo/li" iilici'ow_lve
oven is suitable fin" microwa\'ing. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard
cups, potte_ T or china dinnerware which does not
have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen
can be used. Some cookware is labeled "suitable
fin" micr_wa\'ing."
• If w)u are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe,
use this rest: Place in the oven both the dish
you are resting and a glass measuring cup filled
with 1 cup of water--set the ineasulJng cup
either in or next to the dish. Microwave
30-45 seconds at high. If the dish heats,
it should not be used fi:,r microwa\'ing.
If the dish remains cool and only the water in
the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-sate.
• If you use a meat them_ometer while cooking,
make sure it is sale for use in microwave ovens.
• Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal fecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products containing nflon or
nvhm filaments should be avoided, as they
may also ignite.
• Some sWr()li)am tra)_s (like those that meat
is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom. When microwa\'ed,
the metal can burn the floor of the oven or
ignite a paper towel.
• Do not use the microwave to d_T newspape_.
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable fin" use in
micrm_ve ovens. Check the package fl)r
proper use.
• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
moisture and pre\'ent spattering. Be sure to
vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
• Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred fl'om the heated food. Pot holde_
may be needed to handle the cookware.
"Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed by package. If they are not, plastic could
bm_t dm_ing or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage
containet_ should be at least partially uncovered
because they form a fight seal. _]/ell cooking
with containe_ tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering careflfllv and direct steam away
fl'om hands and face.

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
WARNING-Improperuseethegroundingplugcanresultinariskofelectricshock.
g_com
This appliance must be g_x_unded. 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 equii)ped with a power cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding i)lug.
The i_lug must be phlgged into an outlet that is
propedy installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or se_Mce technician
if the grounding instructions are not completely
undeistood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is propedy grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a propedy grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
[)o not tinder _liiV cii'ctliiiS[;lnces Ctl[ OI" i'elllOve
the third (ground) prong ti'om the power cord.
_'¥1_ do not i'ecoiilillend using [111 extension cord
with this appliance. If the power cord is too
short, have a qualNed electrician or service
technician install an outlet near the appliance,
(See EXTENSION CORDS section,)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights,
blowing of fllse or tripping of circuit breaker:
ADAPTERPLUGS
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently.
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use ofan adapter plug.
Howe\'e_; if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes
pemfit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION mav be made to a im,perlv
grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a LrI, listed adapter
which is available at most local hardware stores.
The laiger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the linger slot in
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of
the power cord.
(Adapter plugs not
permittedinCanada)
Alignlarge [ "l_Fi I

_/" Ensure proper ground
TEMPORARY andfirmconnection
METHOD beforeuse.
CAUTION."Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring.
_m should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.
&,_]_endisconnecting the power cord flxm_ the adapte_; alwa):s hold the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground temfinal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this hai_pen,
DO NOYUSEthe appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
Usage situations where appfiance's power cord will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because fl'equent disconnection of the power cord places
undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground te_ninal. Yi)u should
have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
before using the appliance.
