GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
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 electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
oWARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
- Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove the third (grounding) prong. Do
not use an adaptor or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.
- Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.
- We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the power-
supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet
near the appliance. However, if it is necessary to use an extension cord, read and
follow the "Use of Extension Cords" section below.
Useof Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of your becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and you
can use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or extension cord:
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 it must be plugged
into a 3-slot outlet.
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 accidentally. Ifyou use
an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the speed of the blower may vary
when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer too.
CRITICAL INSTALLATION WARNINGS

RITICAL USAGE WARNINGS
If the microwave appliance is flooded, please contact your nearest service
center. Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire.
Read and follow the specific "Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive
Microwave Energy", found in the beginning of this Safety Information Section.

In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the oven, smother the
flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a
cookie sheet, or a flat tray.
Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended at high heat settings.
Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if
the vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate
sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.
If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.
