IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To prevent risk of electric shock, follow these instructions:
— Plug microwave into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
— Do not remove the ground prong or use an adapter.
— Do not use an extension cord.
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.
VENT FAN
The fan will operate automatically under certain
conditions. 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.
PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However,
patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
29-6293
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.
A short power-supply is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over
a longer cord. Do not use 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.
■ 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.
