the safety interlocks.
z Do not place any object between the microwave oven and the door or allow soil or
cleaner residue to accumulate.
z Do not operate the microwave oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that
the drawer closes properly and that there is no damage to the : (1) drawer (bent),
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) drawer seals and sealing surfaces.
z Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended
in this guide. All other servicing should be done by a Fisher & Paykel trained and
supported service technician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
z Read all instructions before using the appliance.
z Read and follow the specific PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY found on the following page.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
WARNING!
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
z Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
z Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a a Fisher &
Paykel trained and supported service technician or qualified person install an outlet
near the appliance.
z Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
z Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass
jars – are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven. Such use of the oven
could result in injury.

7
z Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use
corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically
designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
z As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
z Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.
z This appliance must only be serviced by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician.
z Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
