This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with
a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven
be provided. Using a high voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing
oven damage.
WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Note
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
The wires in this cable main are colored in accordance with the following code:

3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the
center of the dish to the outside.

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be
used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal
fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to
overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be
careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
