knifebeforecooking.
4. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar
foodsbeforecookingwithmicrowaveenergy.When
skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
5. Donotoperate equipment without load or food in

c. DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularlyimportant that the ovendoor close
properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door
(bent),(2) hinges and latches (broken orloosened),
(3)door seals and sealingsurfaces.

External Equipotential Earthing Terminal
Equipmenthassecondary earthing terminal. Terminal
providesexternal earthing connection used in addition to
earthingprong on plug. Located on outside of oven back,
terminal is marked with symbol shown below.
Unpacking Equipment
• Inspect equipment for damage such as dents in door or
dentsinside oven cavity.
• Reportany dents or breakage to source of purchase
immediately. Do not attempt to use oven if damaged.
• Removeallmaterialsfromoveninterior.
• If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a
fewhoursbeforeconnectingpower.
Equipment Placement
• Allow at least 17.8 centimeters of clearance around top
andsidesof equipment. Proper air flow around
equipment cools electrical components. With restricted
airflow, oven may not operate properlyand life of
electrical parts is reduced.
• Allow at least 6.5 centimeters between back of oven
andrearwall.
• Do not install equipment next to or above source of
heat, such as pizza oven or deep fat fryer. This could
causemicrowaveoventooperateimproperlyandcould
shorten life of electrical parts.
• Do not block or obstruct oven filter.
• Allow access for cleaning.
Radio Interference
Microwaveoperationmaycauseinterferencetoradio,
television,or similar equipment. Reduce or eliminate
interferencebydoingthefollowing:
• Cleandoorand sealing surfaces of oven according to
instructionsin “Care and Cleaning”section.
• Place radio, television, etc. as far as possible
fromoven.
• Usea properly installed antenna on radio,television,
etc. to obtain stronger signal reception.
InstallationEarthing Instructions
This equipmentMUST be earthed. In theevent of an
electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current.This oven is equipped with acord having a
earthingwire with a earthing plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
earthed.
Consulta qualified electrician or servicer if earthing
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the equipment is properly earthed.
Do not use an extension cord. If the oven power cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot
receptacle.This oven should be pluggedinto a separate
50 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in the
appropriatedrawing.Modelrequiresa230 supply voltage.
When a microwave oven is on a circuit with other
equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required
andfuses can be blown.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, do not
alter the plug.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, this
equipmentmust be earthed.
