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 plug can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.
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.

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 qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions 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.

CAUTION
Personal Injury Hazard
It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
