To Reduce the Risk of Injury to Persons Grounding Installation
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.
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.
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.

operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection asgainst exposure
to microwave energy.
UTENSILS
See the instructions on„Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in microwave oven.“
There may be certain non-metalic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the
utensil in question following the procedure below.

Utensils Notes
Aluminium foil As protection only. Small, evenly sized strips of aluminium foil can be used to
protect thin pieces of beef or game, preventing them from overcooking. Make sure
the aluminium sheet is kept well away from the oven walls, as this could generate
electric arcs. The aluminium foil must be at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the oven
walls.
Crisp plate
(accessory)
The bottom of the crisp plate must be at least 5 mm (3/16 inches) above the
turntable. Incorrect use can cause the turntable to break.
Plates and crockery Only if microwave safe. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use cracked
or chipped crockery.
Glass jars Always remove the lid. Only use them to heat food, so that the contents are just hot
enough all the way through. Most glass jars or bottles are not heat-resistant and

Plastic materials Follow the manufacturer's instructions. The label“Microwave safe”must be applied.
Some plastic containers become soft when the food inside heats up. Make holes,
slits or air vents in“boiling bags”and airtight plastic bags, in accordance with the
instructions on the packaging.
Plastic lm Use to cover food to prevent residual moisture from being lost during cooking.
Make sure the plastic lm does not come into contact with the food.
Waxed paper Use as protection against spraying and to retain moisture.
