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 Properly polarized and grounded outlet 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 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 serviceperson 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. • A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. • Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. • If a long cord 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. UTENSILS TEST FOR MICROWAVE ONLY CAUTION Personal Injury Hazard • Tightly-closed utensils could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches pierced before cooking.

Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250 mL) along with the utensil in question. 2. Cook on maximum power (100%) for 1 minute. 3. Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking. Do not exceed 1 minute testing time. CAUTION: 1. Do not use plastic containers for testing. 2.
