MICROWAVE HOOD COMBINATION SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”
These words mean:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
• As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
• Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
• The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.
WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

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 microwave oven

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.
  SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
  This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.

Please include a daytime phone number in your correspondence.

Microwave oven will
not operate| Check the following:
■ Household fuse or circuit breaker: If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped, replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
■ Magnetron: Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does
not heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service.
■ Door: Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door, remove it, then firmly close door.
If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the microwave oven being  started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle.
■ Control: Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is OFF. Make sure Demo mode (on some models) is OFF.
■ Packing spacers: Make sure to remove the 2 packing spacers from the top of the vent grille before using the microwave oven.
Arcing in the
microwave oven| Check the following:
■ Soil buildup: Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame  can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in the “Microwave Oven Care” section.
Turntable alternatesrotation directions|  ■ This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.
Display shows
messages|  ■ A flashing “:” or “PF” means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.
■ A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.
Fan running during
cooktop usage|  ■ This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan, which is separate from the vent fan, automatically comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. It may also automatically come on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the cooktop below is being used.
Radio, TV, or cordlessphone interference| Check the following:
■ Proximity: Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the radio or TV antenna.
■ Soil: Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean.
■ Frequency: Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static or noise while microwave oven is  ON. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone, or avoid using these items during microwave oven operation.
