ENVIRONMENTALLYFRIENDLY DISPOSAL
Energy and environment tips
Here you can findtips on how to save energy when baking and
roastingand how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
■Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the
operating instruction tables.
■Use dark, black lacquered orenamelled bakingtins. They
absorb the heat particularly well.
■Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while you are
cooking, baking or roasting.
■It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The oven is
still warm. This reduces the baking time for the secondcake.
You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.
■For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to finish cooking.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
• Before you plug in an electrical cord or turn on power supply, make sure all
controls are in the OFF position.
• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet.
• Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
• Do not cut or remove the ground prong. It must be plugged into a matching
grounding type receptacle to avoid electrical shock. If there is any doubt as to
whether the wall receptacle is properly grounded, the check with a qualified
electrician.
• Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel. Lock service panel to
prevent power from being turned ON accidentally.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all
applicable codes. 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. The outlet must be properly grounded in
accordance with all applicable codes.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock.
• 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 that has a 3-blade grounded plug, and 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to
or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
WARNING
WARNING
BEFORE INSTALLATION

Electrical Connection
• Only a qualified electrician who takes the appropriate regulations into account
may install the socket or replace the connecting cable. If the plug is no longer
accessible following installation, an all-pole isolating switch must be present on
the installation side with a contact gap of at least 1/8”. Contact protection must
be ensured by the installation.
• Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or
death. Do not disassemble this appliance. Improper use of the grounding can
result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly
installed and grounded.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
WARNING
WARNING: We do not recommend using an extension cord and if used
on this appliance, it will void warranty. If you are going to use an extension
cord, make sure the wire gauge and length are correct for use with a
microwave. The use of an extension cord can cause voltage drop, fire
hazard, and can cause permanent damage to the microwave if used.
• Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
• If a long cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer 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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
• A three prong grounded outlet
• 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only
• 20 Amp electrical supply with a fuse or a circuit breaker
