IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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.
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.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances 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.
If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet
near the appliance.
For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights,
blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
WARNING!
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
THE VENT FAN
The fan will operate automatically under certain
conditions (see Automatic Fan feature). 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.
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.
