HESE INSTRUCTIONS

Safety

MPORTANT GROUNDING NSTRUCTIONS

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 power 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 servicer if you do not understand the grounding instructio ns or i f you are no t sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

THE VENT FAN

The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see page 15).Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.

• Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microw ave or the fan filters.

• In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwav e oven, smother a flam in g pan on the surface un it by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

• Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Co rros ive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.

• Do not prepare flaming foods under the m icrowave when the fan is operating.

• Never leave surface units beneath your m icrowave oven unatten ded at high heat settings. Bo ilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan op eration, us e adequ ate sized coo kwa re and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

WARNING

Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

NOTE

Connect the oven only to a 20A or over dedicated circuit.
