Circuits
Your microwave ovens should be operated on a
separate circuit from other appliances. The voltage
used must be the same as specified on this microwave
oven. Failure to do this may cause the power board
fuse to blow, and/or food to cook slower. Do not insert
higher value fuse in the power board.
Earthing Instructions
This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This microwave oven is equipped
with a cord having an earthing wire with an earthing
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and earthed.
WARNING—Improper use of the earthing plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
Fan Motor Operation after Cooking
After using this oven, the fan may rotate to cool the
electric components. This is perfectly normal, and
you can take out the food from the oven while the fan
operates.
