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 pro-
perly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instruc-
tions 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 inside 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.
UTENSILS
See the instructions on "Materials you can use in microwave oven or
to be avoided in microwave oven." There may be certain non-metallic
utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test
the utensil in question following the procedure below.
Utensil Test:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml)
along with the utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do not use
it for microwave cooking.
4. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.
CAUTION
Personal Injury Hazard: It is hazardous for anyone other than a com-
petent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves
the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
