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.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if you do not
understand the grounding instructions or if you are not
sure if the appliance is properly grounded.
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 neat the
appliance.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord under any circumstances.
NOTE
Connect the oven only to a 20A or over dedicated circuit.
THE VENT FAN
The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see
page 19).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.
• Do not prepare flaming foods under the microwave when the fan is
operating.
• 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.
