IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.
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.
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical
outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of
circuit breaker.
WARNING:
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
THE VENT FAN
The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see
Automatic Fan feature). 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 microwave or the fan filters.
„
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.
„
Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filters.
„
When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the
fan on.
„
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.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use.
