GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
120V-15AMP
WARNING -- IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG
CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH.
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 with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT use a two-prong
adapter.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have
a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be
plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown
in the appropriate drawing at left. When a microwave oven is on a circuit
with other appliances, an increase in cooking times may be required and
fuses can be blown.
DO NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR
REMOVE THE ROUND
GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE
PLUG OR BEND THE POWER
PRONGS TO FIT A RECEPTACLE
OTHER THAN THE ONE SHOWN
FOR YOUR OVEN. SUCH ABUSE
OF THE PLUG CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR
OVERHEATING.
12. Microwave convenience foods are often
packaged in specially designed packaging.
Special plates, lids, containers, or other unique
packaging materials may be used. Susceptor
packing material (a thin, metalized plastic film) is
frequently used to help brown and crispen foods
such as microwave pizzas, french fries, or fish
sticks. Be sure to follow food package
instructions carefully. Contact convenience food
manufacturer with questions concerning these
products. Amana Refrigeration, Inc. does not
endorse any brand of microwave convenience
foods, or any type of microwave food packaging.
13. Do not operate microwave oven empty. This
could damage the oven.
14. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in
oven. Most cooking thermometers contain
mercury and may cause “arcing”, malfunction,
and/or damage to oven.
15. Metal or ceramic accessories which are designed
to absorb microwave energy to provide heat may
be used with caution. Test device before use
(See "Microwave Cooking section"). Read and
follow manufacturer's instructions provided with
the accessory. Contact accessory manufacturer
with questions concerning these accessories.
Amana Refrigeration, Inc., does not endorse any
brand of accessory.
16. Never use newspapers in oven since paper may
ignite.
17. Pierce or open plastic bags (and other airtight
containers) before heating in microwave oven.
This allows steam to escape during cooking.
18. Containers may become hot and pot holders may
be needed.
19. Closely supervise use by children. Make sure
they can read instructions and reach controls.
Never allow them to lean or swing on oven door.
