Grounding Instructions; Precautions To Avoid Possible Exposure To Excessive Microwave Energy - Maytag AMV1162AA Guía De Uso Y Cuidado

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be
grounded and plug must not be altered.

Grounding Instructions

Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric
current if an electrical short occurs. This
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. See Installation Instructions.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as
to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot
receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60
hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in specifications
table. When the oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an
increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be
blown.
Microwave operates on standard household current,
110-120V.

Precautions to Avoid Possible
Exposure to Excessive
Microwave Energy
A. 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.
B. DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and
the door to allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces.
C. DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that oven door close properly and that there is no
damage to:
1. door (bent),
2. hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
3. door seals and sealing surfaces.
D. Oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except
properly qualified service personnel.
WARNING
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to
be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury
to persons:
1. DO NOT overheat the liquid.
2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
3. DO NOT use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
