SAFETY
• Do not attempt to operate this oven with
the door open,
since open-door operation can
result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.
• Do not place any object between the oven
front face and the door,
or allow soil or
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing
surfaces.
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.
It is particularly important that the oven door
close properly and that there is no damage to
the:
- door (bent),
- hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
- door seals and sealing surfaces.
• The oven should not be adjusted or
repaired
by anyone except properly qualified
service personnel.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
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 cord having a grounding wire
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded, and either:
1.
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 recepta-
cle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension cord shall
be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance, or . . .
2.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near
the appliance.
NOTES:
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 cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
3.
If a long cord 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
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
