IMPORTANTGROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
_This appliance must be grounded. Inthe 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 power cord that includes a
grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded. 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.
WARNING
O Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a
....... qualified electrician or servicer ifyou do not understand the grounding instructions
or ifyou are not 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.
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any
circumstances.
Connect the oven only to a 15A dedicated circuit.
®
THEVENTFAN
_The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions.Take care to prevent
the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.
In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave oven,
smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a
lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumulate
on the ventilating hood.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. A corrosive cleaning agent, such as
[]
lyebased oven cleaner, may damage the filter.
Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high
®
heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite
and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan
operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only
when necessary.
