Grounding instructions

• 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, ground-ing reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. It is recom-mended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided.
• Using a high voltage is danger-ous and may result in a fire or other accident caus-ing oven damage.
• WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or ser-vice person.
• Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to ob-serve the electrical connection pro-cedures.
• The wires in this cable main are colored in accord-ance with the following code:
• Green and Yellow = EARTH
• Blue = NEUTRAL
• Brown = LIVE

Utensils guide

1. Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking. This requirement is not applicable if the manufacturer specifies size and shape of metallic containers suitable for microwave cooking.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when mi-crowave 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.
