Precautions To Avoid Possible Exposure To Excessive Microwave Energy; Electrical Requirements; Turntable; Grounding Instructions - Whirlpool GSC309 Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be
boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
– Do not overheat the liquid.
– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
– After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil
into the container.
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 or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces.

Electrical Requirements

The microwave oven is connected to a 110 volt side of the
240 volt circuit required for the lower oven. If the incoming
voltage to the microwave oven is less than 110 volts cooking
times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your
electrical system.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a permanently connected microwave oven:
The microwave oven must be connected to a grounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment
grounding conductor should be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal or lead on the microwave oven.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this
product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
See door surface cleaning instructions in the "Oven Care"
section.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave
oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bags in oven.
– If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that the oven door close properly and that there
is no damage to the:
(1)
Door (bent),
(2)
Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
(3)
Door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone
except properly qualified service personnel.

Turntable

A. Turntable
B. Hub
C. Support and rollers
The turntable rotates in both directions to help cook food more
evenly. For best cooking results, do not operate the microwave
oven without having the turntable in place. See "Assistance or
Service" to reorder any of the parts.
The raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable bottom fit
between the 3 spokes of the hub. The hub turns the turntable
during microwave oven use. The rollers on the support should fit
inside the turntable bottom ridge.
