The Vent Fan; Grounding Instructions - GE JVM3150 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!

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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
12
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.
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.
We do not recommend using 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. (See EXTENSION CORDS section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into
its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering
of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of
circuit breaker.
