for household use only.

13. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of hot liquids and beverages or scalding yourself,
stir liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through cooking
time. Let stand in the oven for a short time and stir again before removing the container.

14. Please do notice the food in the microwave oven to avoid burning due to excessive
cooking when cooking food in it.

15. When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children should only use the
oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures generated.

16. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the
surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.

not plug into an outlet until
appliance is properly installed
and grounded.

Three-pronged

(grounding) plug

Properly polarized and
grounded outlet

Utensils

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.

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.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3­wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug,
and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance.

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping

over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cord is provided to

reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled

in or tripping over a longer cord.

3. If a long cord sets 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 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.
