SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING 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

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 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 person if the grounding 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.

The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of 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 cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a long cord set or extension cord is used: i) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

ii) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

iii) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Radio Interference

1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment.

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures: i) Clean door and sealing surface of the microwave oven.

ii) Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.

iii) Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.

iv) Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

v) Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on different circuits.

UTENSILS

CAUTION

Personal Injury Hazard

Tightly-closed containers could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced before cooking.

See the instructions on "Materials you can use in microwave oven "and "Materials to be avoided in microwave oven" on page 6.

There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the utensil in question following the procedure below:

Utensil Test:

1. Place the utensil in a microwave-safe container with 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water.

2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.

3. Carefully feel the utensil. If the utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.
