GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER – Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance. 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 while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-foot-long conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding plug to fit into the proper outlet. 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 has a cord with a grounding wire and a grounding plug, which must be plugged into a properly installed and grounded outlet. The WMO90 plug (Fig. 1) can be connected to an adapter (Fig. 2) for use in 2-prong receptacles. The grounding lug, which extends from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box (Fig. 3) using a metal screw.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if there is doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

EXTENSION CORDS & LONG CORD SETS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the appliance. Use only extension cords that are intended for indoor use. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine the extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse the extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
NOTE: The WMO90 is for 120V only. This appliance should not be used with a converter.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

CAUTION
Personal Injury Hazard
Tightly closed containers could explode during microwaving. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced before cooking.

SAFE MATERIALS FOR MICROWAVE

There may be certain non-metallic utensils and containers that are not safe to use for microwaving. Refer to the instructions on Materials You Can Use In Microwave Oven and Materials To Be Avoided In Microwave Oven on pages 8 and page 9. To check if a material is microwave safe, you can test it following the procedure below.

1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup (250ml) of cold water along with the utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the utensil. If the utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.
4. Do not exceed 1 minute of cooking time.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Always keep the oven clean.

1. Cleaning the glass viewing window, the inner door panel and oven front face: For best performance and to maintain a high degree of safety, the inner door panel and oven front face should be free of food or grease buildup. Wipe these parts with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
2. Cleaning the control panel and plastic parts: Do not apply a detergent or an alkaline liquid spray to the control panel and plastic parts, as this may cause damage to these parts. Use a dry cloth (not a soaked cloth) to clean these parts.
3. Cleaning the oven interior: After use, be sure to clean up spilled liquids, spattered oil and food debris as quickly as possible. If the oven is used when dirty, efficiency drops and the dirt gets stuck on the oven surface and may cause bad odors. Clean the interior with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water with a mild detergent dissolved in it, then rinse the soap off with a damp cloth.

CAUTION: Do not wipe plastic and painted sections of the oven with bleach, thinners or other cleaning agents, as this may cause these parts to dissolve or change shape.
