TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY TO PERSONS
GROUNDING INSTALLATION
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 a[[ppliance.
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 neighbouring 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.
