PRECAUTIONS 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. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.
important safety instructions When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, personal injury, or exposure to excessive microwave energy, read all instructions before using the appliance. This appliance must be grounded or connected to a properly grounded outlet. Install this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
important safety instructions To reduce the risk of injury to persons Do not overheat the liquid. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container. Do not operate any heating or cooking appliance beneath, over, or near the appliance.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. WARNING Electric Shock Hazard Consult a qualified electrician 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-blade grounded plug and 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet. The installer must perform a ground continuity check on the power outlet box before beginning the installation to ensure that the outlet box is properly grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outlet box does not meet electrical requirements noted, a qualified electrician should be employed to correct any deficiencies.
