GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 with a grounding wire and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman 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 an extension cord should not be used unless the following precautions are followed.
- If a long cord or extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should match the rating of the appliance.
- The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
- 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.

MATERIALS YOU CAN USE IN MICROWAVE
Arcing is sparks or electric flashes that crackle or pop. Arcing can produce heat that is quite intense and can damage the interior of the microwave or containers being used in the microwave. It can also cause a fire. Arcing occurs when certain metals are used in the microwave. To prevent arcing, use the charts below to determine which materials are microwave safe, or follow instructions from container/wrap manufacturer. Plastic cookware should be used carefully.
Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food, and cookware could ignite. Follow these guidelines: Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not microwave empty containers. Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.
Browning Dish | Use a browning dish in this microwave only if supplied with a microwave trivet that will lift the browning dish ³∕16-inch above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break. |
| Dinnerware | Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes. |
| Glass Jars | Always remove the lid. Use only to warm food. Most glass jars are not heat resistant and may break. |

MATERIALS TO BE AVOIDED IN MICROWAVE
| Aluminum tray | Cause arcing. Transfer food to a microwave-safe dish. |
| Food carton with metal handle | May cause arcing. Transfer to a microwave-safe dish. |
