To Reduce the Risk of Injury to Persons
Grounding Installation
Danger
Electric shock hazard may rise
when touching some of the
internal components, which
can cause serious personal
injury or death. Do not
disassemble this appliance.
Warning
Electric shock hazard may rise
when with improper use of the
grounding.
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 can reduce 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.
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 shall 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 shall be
arranged well to prevent
draping over the counter
top or tabletop in case
being pulled on by
children or tripped over
unintentionally.

Cleaning
UTENSILS
Caution
Personal Injury Hazard
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.
See the instructions on "Materials you can
use in microwave oven or to be avoided
in microwave oven". There may be certain
non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use
for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the
utensil in question following the procedure
below.
Utensil Test:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1
cup of cold water (250ml) along with the
utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty
utensil is warm, do not use it for
microwave cooking.
4. Do not exceed 1 minute of cooking time.
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 neighboring 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 it on 100% microwave
power for 10 minutes. Then wipe the oven clean using a
soft and dry cloth.
