TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS
GROUNDING INSTALLATION
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 properly
installed and grounded.
Consult a quali ed electrician or serviceman if the
grounding nstructions 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 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.
