GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
PREFERRED
METHOD
Ensure proper ground
exists before use.
WARNING
Improper use of the
grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock.
• Plastic cookware—Plastic
cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very
useful, but should be used
carefully. Even microwave-
safe plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking
conditions as are glass or
ceramic materials and
may soften or char if
subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer
exposures to over-
cooking, the food and
cookware could ignite.
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.
Follow these guidelines:
1 Use microwave-safe
plastics only and use
them in strict compliance
with the cookware
manufacturer's
recommendations.
2 Do not microwave empty
containers.
3 Do not permit children
to use plastic cookware
without complete
supervision.
Consult a qualified electri-
cian or service technician if
the grounding instructions
are not completely under-
stood, 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 circum-
stances cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from
the power cord.
