To Reduce the Risk of Injury to Persons

Grounding Installation

CLEANING

Be sure to unplug the

appliance from the power supply.

1. Clean the inside of the oven after using

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
