3. Metal ties and wire handles must be removed from paper and plastic bags and containers before placing them into the

microwave oven.

4. The microwave oven should be properly grounded. Only connect the microwave oven to an electrical outlet that is

properly grounded.

5. Some food items, like eggs in their shells, liquid or hard fats, and also hermetically sealed jars and sealed glass contain-

ers can be explosive and should not be placed in your microwave oven.

7. Use your microwave oven exclusively for the purposes for which it was designed and in strict adherence to the instruc-

tions explained herein.

CAUTION

Injury due to electric shock.

Touching the elements of the electrical circuits inside the microwave oven can lead to serious trauma and injury from elec-

tric shock. Do not take apart the microwave oven yourself.

Grounding the Microwave Oven

The microwave oven should be properly grounded. In case of any kind of short-circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric

shock, as the current will flow through the ground wire.

The microwave oven uses a power cord with ground wire and a grounded plug. The plug should be connected to an electri-

cal outlet that also has a ground contact.

WARNING: Connecting a grounded plug to an un-grounded outlet can lead to electric shock.

Consult with a qualified electrician if you do not understand these grounding instructions or if you are not sure that the

microwave oven is properly grounded.

In order to avoid confusion, the microwave oven is equipped with a short power cord.

If an extension cord is necessary, only use a 3-wire extensions cord with ground contacts on the power plug and

outlet(s).

The sectional markings on the microwave oven's power cord should match those on the extension cord.

The extension cord should not hang off the edge of the table where children can pull on it; it should be placed where it

will not be walked on.

Dishes for microwave ovens

CAUTION!

Tightly sealed containers heated in a microwave can be explosive.

Sealed containers should be opened and plastic bags should be poked a few times with a fork in order to allow steam

to escape before being placed in the microwave oven.

If you are unsure about using a certain dish in the microwave oven, then conduct a test.

Checking dishes before using them in the microwave

Place the dish in the cooking chamber of the oven (a plate, for example) and place a glass cup of water in the center of

the dish.

Set the microwave to maximum power and heat for no more than one minute.
