Important Safety Instructions
SAFETY
WARNING— To reduce the risk of the fire, electric shock, injury to
persons, or exposure to excessive microwave oven
energy when using your appliance, follow
basic precautions, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard Touching
some of the internal components
can cause serious personal injury
or death.Do not disassemble this
appliance
.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding
can result in electric shock. Do
not plug into an outlet until
appliance is properly installed
and grounded.
Three-pronged
(grounding) plug
18.Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN
VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DIS-
TURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UT-
ENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
i) Do not overheat the liquid.
ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
iii) Do not use straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
iv) After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short
time before removing the container.
v) Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the container.
Grounding Installation
Properly polarized and
grounded outlet
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an elec-
trical 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.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the ground-
ing instructions are not completely understood or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-
wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug,
and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
3. If a long cord sets or extension cord is used: 1)The
marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance. 2)The extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and 3)The longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
