TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS
Two-round-pin plug
GROUNDING INSTALLATION
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.
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 quali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.
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.
CLEANING
Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply.
1. Clean the inside 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 neighboring parts must be cleaned carefully with
a damp cloth when they are dirty.

It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service
or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection
against exposure to microwave energy.
