Grounding installation

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. This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, ground- ing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric cur- rent. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a ground- ing 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.

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 cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting

from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

3. If a long cord set 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.

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.

MWP717HWHman.qxd 11-07-2005 15:59 Pagina 24Questions and Answers Q: Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the oven is turned on? A: This noise occurs when some eyewinkers exist between the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom. Frequentcleaning of these parts should eliminate or reduce the noise. Q: Why is there noise coming from the oven when using a lower power level? A: When cooking with power other than 100%, the oven automatically turns on and off to obtain lower power output. The clicking noise can be heard when the oven switches on and off. This is normal. Q: Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent? A: Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to vent this steam. Q: What is wrong when the oven light will not glow? A: There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. The light bulb has burned out or START has not been pressed. Q: Why do eggs sometimes pop? A: The egg yolk may poop because of steam build-up inside the membrane. Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never microwave eggs in the shell since they may explode. Q: How are boil-overs avoided? A: Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR, the food will stop boiling. Cleaning Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This should be done on a weekly basis, more often if needed. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. Removable Parts (1) The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause the turntable to break during use. (2) The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly. Special Care For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food. MWP717HWHman.qxd 11-07-2005 15:59 Pagina 25Notes
