Precautions To Avoid Possible Exposure To, Excessive Microwave Energy

Page 4 highlights

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ■ Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in the "PAN BROWN" mode (on models with this feature). ■ Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use. ■ Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven when the microwave oven is in operation. ■ Do not deep fry in microwave oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable, and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures. ■ Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven. ■ Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar locations. ■ Do not immerse cord or plug in water. ■ Keep cord away from heated surfaces. ■ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. ■ Do not mount over a sink. ■ Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY (a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks. (b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. (c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) Door (bent), (2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door seals and sealing surfaces. (d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel. Electrical Requirements WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Required: ■ A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply with a fuse or circuit breaker. Recommended: ■ A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker. ■ A separate circuit serving only this appliance. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS ■ For all cord connected appliances: The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven 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. WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.
