a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from plastic cooking bags before placing
bags in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn
the oven off, disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the
fuse or circuit breaker panel.

leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the oven when not
in use.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock. 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.
Use of Extension Cords
Ashort power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord 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 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 unintentionally.
If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower
may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer,
too.
WARNING:Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord under any circumstances.
Preferred method of grounding
Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard
115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this circuit.
Using an adapter
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of
an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes may permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL/CSA-listed adapter,
which is available at most hardware stores.
