Read the following information to avoid possible exposure to microwave radiation: The basic design of the Amana Microwave Oven makes it an inherently safe device to both use and service. However, there are some precautions which should be followed when servicing the Microwave Oven to maintain this safety.
Important Safety Information Recognize this symbol as a SAFETY message WARNING When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should be followed to reduce the risk of burns, electrical shock, fire, or injury to persons. 1. READ all instructions before using equipment. 8.
Important Safety Information CAUTION To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, observe the following: 1. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating with 7. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. microwave energy to prevent spontaneous boiling Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and or eruption.
Important Safety Information Grounding Instructions WARNING WARNING Precautions to be observed before and during servicing to avoid possible exposure to excessive Do not remove grounding prong when installing microwave energy, or electrical shock disconnect grounded appliance in a home or business that does power to oven.
Important Safety Information Servicing of Grounded Products Explanation The standard accepted color coding for grounding wires Polarization–This means that the larger slot must be is GREEN or GREEN WITH YELLOW STRIPE. These neutral and the small slot must be hot (live). ground leads are NOT to be used as current carrying Mispolarized–The outlet is miswired so that the larger slot conductors.
