GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For all cord connected appliances:
I
The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven 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.
WARNING:
Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the microwave oven is properly grounded.
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 microwave oven.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
Auto Vent Fan (on some models): To keep the microwave
oven from overheating, the auto vent fan will automatically turn
on at high speed if the temperature from the range or cooktop
below the microwave oven gets too hot. When this occurs,
the vent fan cannot be turned off. "AUTO FAN ON for heat
circulation" appears in the display.
Dynamic Fan Sensing (on some models): To keep
the microwave oven from overheating, the auto vent fan
will automatically turn on at various speeds, depending
on the temperature from the range or cooktop below the
microwave oven. When this occurs, the vent fan cannot

circulation" appears in the display. As the temperature cools,
the fan will automatically decrease its speed, then turn off.
