2. Read and follow the specific:" PRECAU-
TIONS TO A VOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROW AVE ENERGY".
3. As with most cooking appliances,close supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a fire in the oven cavity.
If materials inside the oven ignite:
1.Keep the oven door closed
2.Turn the oven off, and unplug the appliance.
3.Disconnect the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Important Safety Instructions
SAFETY
WARNING—
To reduce the risk of the fire, electric shock, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave oven energy when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

SA VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard T ouching
some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death.Do not disassemble this
appliance .
W ARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.
Three-pronged (grounding) plug
18.Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DIS­ TURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UT­ ENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
i) Do not overheat the liquid. ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it. iii) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. iv) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container. v) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
Grounding Installation
Properly polarized and grounded outlet
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 having a grounding wire with a 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 3­wire 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 extension cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
3. If a long cord sets or extension cord is used: 1)The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. 2)The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and 3)The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally .
