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. If you use an
extension cord, the interior light may icker and the speed of the blower may vary when
the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer too.

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 re may spread.
- Always observe safety precautions when using your oven. Never try to repair the
