GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• This microwave oven must be grounded. The microwave oven is equipped with a power cord, which has a grounding wire with a grounded power plug. The power plug must be connected to an electric power socket, which is properly installed and grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock. In the case of a short circuit the electric current is conducted though the grounding wire. We recommend that the oven be connected to an independent electrical circuit.

Warning:
An incorrectly grounded power socket may present a danger of electrical shock.

Note:
If you have any questions regarding grounding or electrical instructions, consult all such matters with a qualified electrician or repair person. Neither the manufacturer nor the vendor take any responsibility for whatever damage to the oven or injury resulting from an incorrect electrical connection.

4. Cover the food before cooking. You will prevent juices from splashing around by covering the food.
5. To speed up the cooking of foods, such as chickens or hamburgers, turn them over once during the cooking process. Large pieces of food such as roasts must be turned over at least once.
