INSTALLATION SAFETY WARNINGS
– 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 the 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 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.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
– The marked electrical rating of the cord set or the extension cord should be at least as great as
– the electrical rating of the appliance.
– The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
– The long cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
– Disconnect: Make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply when it will not be used for a long time and before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance.
– Service and repair: The Microwave has no user-serviceable parts contained inside. Do not attempt to disassemble, modify or conduct repairs on this unit. It has been built in accordance with relevant safety and performance standards. An electrical specialist must carry out all repairs. Contact our after-sales support line for advice on service.
– Clean the cavity of the microwave oven after using a slightly damp cloth.
– Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
– The door frame and seal and neighboring parts must be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth when they are dirty.
– Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the microwave oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
– 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.
