GROUNDING INSTALLATION
DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal
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 qualified 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 grounding-type 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.
