Safety; Precautions To Avoid Possible Exposure To Excessive Microwave Energy; Grounding Instructions - LG LMH1017CVST Owner's Manual & Cooking Manual

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
• 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.
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 receptacle that will
accept the plug on the appliance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Ensure proper ground
exists before use

SAFETY

• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.
It is particularly important that the oven door closes
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.
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.
