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 qualified 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.

CLEANING
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 on 100% microwave power for
10 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.
