MICROWAVE-SAFECOOKWARE
Make sure to use suitable cookware during
microwave cooking. Most glass casseroles, cooking
dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottei 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" microwaving."
• If w)u are not sure if a dish is microwave-sale,
use this test: Place ill the oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water set tile measuring cup either ill
or next to the dish. Microwave 30-45 seconds
at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used
fin" microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the water ill
tile cup heats, then tile dish is microwave-sale.
• If you use a meat themlometer while cooking,
l/l_lke stlre it is sate fin" iise in illicrowave ()veils.
• Do not use recycled paper products. Recvcled
paper towels, nal)kins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be avoided, as they Inav
also ignite.
• Some sWroloanl tra):s (like those that meat is
packaged on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded ill tile bottom. When microwaved,
tile metal can burn tile floor of tile oven or
ignite a paper towel.
• Do not use tile microwave to chy ne_vspapei_.
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable fin" use ill
inicrowave ()veils. Check tile package fin" proper
Ilse.
• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can
be used to cover dishes ill order to retain
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent
plastic wrap so steam can escape.
• Cookware ma} become hot because of heat
transtbrred fl'om the heated toed. Pot holdei_
max be needed to handle the cookware.
• "Boilable" cooking pouches and fighdy closed
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed by package. If they are not, plastic could
1)m_t during or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting ill illjUI T. A]so, plastic storage
containei_ should be at least partially uncovered
because they titan a fight seal. When cooking
with containei_ tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefllllv and direct steam away

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
WARNING-I p,o , g o,.,Ji.g l,gc,. in, of l ct ic ,ock.
g_com
This appliance Inust be grounded. In the e\'ent of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
fin" the electric cmTent.
This appliance is eqtfipped Mth a power cord
having a grotmding wire with a grotmding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly instnlled and grotmded.
Consult a qualified electfidan or service technician
if the grotmding instructions are not completely
tmdetstood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grotmded.
If the outlet is a stnndard 2-prong wall outlet, it is
w_m" personal responsibili_i and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grotmded B-prong wall
outlet.
Do not tlndeI" [lily ciI'CtlI/lSt_lnces Ctl[ oI" I'eIll(we
the third (grotmd) prong fl'om the power cord.
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this appliance. If the power cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician or set'vice technician
install an outlet near the appliance. (See
EXTENSIONCORDSsection.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical outlet to prevent flickering oI lights,
blowing of fllse ,c,r tripping of circuit breaker;

ADAPTERPLUGS
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently.
Because oI potential safety hazards m_(ler certain conditions, {Adapterplugsnot
we stronglyrecommend against the use of an adapter plug.However; if permittedinCanada}
you still elect to use an adapter; where local codes pemfit, a TEMPORARY Alignlarge
CONNECTIONmay be made to a i_roperly grounded tw_)-prong wall
receptacle by tile use of a UI, listed adapter which is available at most
local hardware stores.
Tile linger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with tile linger slot in
tile wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in tile com_ection of tile TEMPORARY
power cord. METHOD
CAUTION:AttachfiTg 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.
You should have tile circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure tile receptacle is properly
grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord fl'om the adapter, always hold the adapter with ()tie hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this hal_pen,
DONOTUSEthe appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because fl'equent disconnection oI the power cord places
:indue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual fhilm'e of tile adapter ground temtinal. You should have
tile two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grotmding) receptacle 1)y a qualified electrician
before using tile appliance.
