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.

A WARNING

WARNING

O 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 instructions

or if you 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 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 aflaming 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 lye based 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.
