To Reduce the Risk of Injury to Persons Grounding Installation
DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the interna 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, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance 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.
Consult a qualifi ed 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.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.
2. 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 groundingtype 3-wire cord.
3) The long 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.
CLEANING
Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply.
1. Clean the cavity of the oven after using with a slightly damp cloth.
2. Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
3. The door frame and seal and neighbouring parts must be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth when they are dirty.
4. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch
the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
5. Cleaning Tip---For easier cleaning of the cavity walls that the food cooked can touch: Place half a lemon in a bowl,
add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% microwave power for 10 minutes.
Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.
