For Personal Safety, This Appliance Must Be Prop- erly Grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug

which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle (Fig. 1) to minimize the possi-

bility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is en-

countered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do Not Under Any Circumstances Cut or Remove

The Third [Ground) Prong From -W! Power cord.

A. Usage Situations Where Appliance’s Power

Cord WHI Be Disconnected Infrequently.

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use

an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPO-

ANOflRMCONNfCllON

RARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which is available at most local hardware stores (Fig, 2). The larger slot in the

adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord,

Cauthm: 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. The customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

B. Usage Situations WI-we Appliance’s IPowew Cord will Be Dis’ccmnected Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations be-

cause disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer

should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified eiect~ician be~oreusing the appliance.

1. For personal safety the CNenmust be property

grounded. SW on page 3 of this

book. For best operation, plug this appliance

into its owri electrical outld, to pwvent flickering of

lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breakw,

2. Use of mdmwdcmcords. Because of potcmtial safety hazarc]sunder certain conditions we strongly recommenceagainst the use of an extw~sion cord,

However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary thal it be a UL listed 3-wire

grounding type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord In amperes be 15amperes or greater, Such extension cords are

obtainable through Gwwral Electric service. If you

do use art extension cord with your micrmwave oven, the interior light may flicker and tho blower

sound may varywhen oven is in use.

3. Be certain to piace the front surfaceof the door

three irlches or more back from the countertop edge to avoid acciderttai!ipping ofthe appiiarwe in mwmaiusage.

4. Use rnetai cmiyas directed irt cookbook. Metal strips as used on meat roasts are helpful in cooking food when used as directed, Metal trays may be

used for TV dinners. However, when using metal in the microwave oven, keep metal at ieast l-inch away from sidesof microwaveoven.

5. .!30not operate the oven whiie empty to avoid

damage b the oven and the danger of fire. If by accident the oven should run empty a minute or two,

no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times–it saves energy and prolongs life of the oven.

6. Cooking utensils may become hot because of

heat transferred from the heated food. This is espe-

cially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Pot holders may be needed to handle the utensil.

7. Sometimes, the oven shelf can become too hot

to touch. Be careful touching the shelf during and after cooking.

8. Do not use any thermometer in food you are microwaving unless that thermometer is designed

or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

9. Remove the temperature probe from the oven when not using it to cook with. If you leave the probe inside the oven without inserting it in food or

liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven, and damage oven walls.

10. Remove wire twist-ties on paper and plastic bags before placing in oven. Twist-ties sometjmes

cause bag to heat, and may cause fire.

11.Don’t defrost frozenbeverages in narrow necked

bottles especially carbonated ones. Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.

14. Boilirtg eggs [{n and cud of shei{)1snot t’ecomi- tnendsdfor mimmwavecooking. Pressure can build up inside egg yolk and may cause it to burst, resuiting in injury. 15, Foods withunbroken outer %Mrt” such as po- tataes, hot dogs or saus+ges, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and eggs (see above) should be pierced to allow steam to escapeduring cooking, 16,’’E3oihWe” WMMng ICW.Jchesam! $Ightlyciosed piastic bags should bo siit, pricked or vented as directed in Cookbook. If they are not, plastic ccwid burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resuiting in injury. Also, piastic storage containers

shouid be at least partialiy uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefuiiy and direct steam away from hands and face.

17, Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven uniess in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn Iabeied for use in micro-

wave ovens. Because of the heat generated without

these precautions, the container could catch fire. =

18. ‘PlastictJterw#!s-Plastic utensiis designed for microwave cooking are very useful, but should be used carefuily. Even microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are giass

or ceramic materiais and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In ionger exposures to overcooking, the food and utensils could ignite. For these reasons: f) Use microwave plastics only “and use them” in strict compliance with the utensii manufacturer’s recommendations.

2) Do not subject empty utensiis to microwaving, 3) Do not permit children to use plastic utensils without complete supervision.

19. Do not use your microwave oven to dry nEww& papers. if overheated, they can catch fire.

20. Use of Shelf Accessory. To position sheif so

that it is securely “seated,” insert into the oven cavity above shelf supports and completely to the back oven wail. Drop into piace so that the recessed areas are over the shelf supports. To rem”oveshelf, lift sheH above supports and then puli forward and out. Do not piace food on sheit uniess it is secureiy “seated” on the supports.

21. ‘$/Wrencooking pork either conventionality or in the microwave oven, foiiow our directions exactiy and aiways cook the meat to at ieast 170°. This assures that, in the remote possibility tilat trici~ina

may be present in the meat, it will be kiiied and .= meat wiii be safe to eat.

22. Avoid heating baby food in glass jars especially meat and egg mixtures.
