If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad
and correct the problem.
Arcing is the ulicrowave teim fi)r sparks in the
oven. Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges
act like m_tennas).

SAFETY FACT--Superheated water,
I,iquids, such as watei; coiiee or tea, are able
to be overheated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is

VERY HOT I,IQUIDS SUDDENIN BOIIJNG
OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIl, IS INSERTED INTO THE I,IQUID.
To reduce the risk of ii]jury to persons:
-- Do not overheat the liquid.
-- Stir the liquid both before and hallwav
through heating it.
-- Do not use straight-sided containers with
ila ITOW necks.
--After heating, allow the container to stand
in tile ulicrowave oven fi)r a short tin/e
befl)re renloving the container.
-- Use extreule care when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the {'ontainei2
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--uleat
t{/at least an INTERNAl, teulperature of
160°F and poultI y to at least an INTERNAl,
teulperature of 180°1. Cooking to these
teulperatures usually protects against

This appliance nmst be grounded. Ill the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire tot the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug nmst be plugged into an outlet that is

Consult a qualified electrician or service
technician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is your personal responsibili_'
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.
Do not under ally circulnstances cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
_'e do not recommend using an extension

too short, have a qualified electrician or service
technician install an outlet near the appliance.
(See the Extension Cords section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
