THE EXHAUST FEATURE
The exhaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with two
metal filters which collect grease. When the fan is operated, air is drawn
up through the filters and is then discharged through the provided venting
to the outside.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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. (Fig. 1)
WARNING—Improper
use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
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.
Where a standard two-prong
wall receptacle is encountered, it
is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle.
Do not under any circumstance
cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug with
this appliance.
Do not use an extension cord
with this appliance.
