12. Microwave convenience foods are often
packaged in specially designed packaging.
Special plates, lids, containers, or other
unique packaging materials may be used.
Susceptor packing material (a thin,
metalized plastic film) is frequently used to
help brown and crispen foods such as
microwave pizzas, french fries, or fish
sticks. Be sure to follow food package
instructions carefully. Contact convenience
food manufacturer with questions
concerning these products. Amana
Refrigeration, Inc., does not endorse
any brand of microwave convenience foods,
or any type of microwave food packaging.
13. Do not operate microwave oven empty.
This could damage the oven.
14. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in
oven. Most cooking thermometers contain
mercury and may cause "arcing",
malfunction, and/or damage to oven.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH.
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. DO
NOT use a two-prong adapter.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven
should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical
rating as shown in the appropriate drawing at left. When a microwave
oven is on a circuit with other appliances, an increase in cooking times
may be required and fuses can be blown.
15. Metal or ceramic accessories which are
designed to absorb microwave energy to
provide heat may be used with caution. Test
device before use (See "Utensil Check Test"
on page 17). Read and follow
manufacturer's instructions provided with the
accessory. Contact accessory manufacturer
with questions concerning these
accessories. Amana Refrigeration, Inc.,
does not endorse any brand of accessory.
16. Never use newspapers in oven since paper
may ignite.
17. Pierce or open plastic bags (and other
airtight containers) before heating in
microwave oven. This allows steam to
escape during cooking.
18. Containers may become hot and pot
holders may be needed.
19. Closely supervise use by children. Make
sure they can read instructions and reach
controls. Never allow them to lean or
swing on oven door.
