GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION GUIDE
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for 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 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. And if it is
necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the

5. Critical usage WARNINGS
If the microwave appliance is flooded, please contact
your nearest service center. Failing to do so may result in
electric shock or fire.
Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid
Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy” found
on page 3.
If the microwave generates a strange noise, a burning
smell or smoke, unplug it immediately and contact your
nearest service center.
In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.),
•
ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch the
microwave, power cord, or plug.
• Do not use a ventilating fan.
• A spark may result in an explosion or fire.
Take care that the door or any of the other parts do not
come into contact with your body while cooking or just
after cooking.
•
In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below
the oven, smother the flaming pan on the surface unit
by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie
sheet or a flat tray.
Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite and spread if the vent fan
is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use
adequate sized cookware. Use high heat on surface
units only when necessary.
If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven
door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power
cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.
• Always observe Safety Precautions when using your
oven. Never try to repair the oven on your own. There
is dangerous voltage inside. If the oven needs to be
repaired, contact an authorized service center near you.
When using grounding adapter, make sure
the receptacle box is fully grounded.
