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 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 extention cord is used:
   • The marked electrical rating of the cord set or 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 counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Important safety instructions warning

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 neighboring 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.

AmazonBasics e-waste Program

Recycle your old AmazonBasics products and help protect the environment.

Consequences of Improper E-Waste Handling & Recycling:

E-waste when disposed or recycled improperly, can cause severe environmental pollution and adversely affect the human body as they contain excess of toxic chemicals like mercury, polybrominated flame retardants, barium, lithium and PVC. The common process of burning of e-waste in informal e-waste recycling and disposal facilities releases toxic gases into the atmosphere, causing severe air pollution. Besides that, poor recycling and improper disposal of e-waste leads to a lot of pollutants such as heavy metals like cadmium, lead and persistent organic pollutants to be released into the atmosphere, which further pollutes the eco-system and causes health hazards.

Alternately the practice of dumping of e-waste into landfills as followed by the informal e-waste recycling and disposal facilities eventually makes the hazardous and toxic components of e-waste seep into the eco system including the regional water tables, causing soil pollution and contaminating the water table. Such contamination will affect nearby communities in an adverse manner for much longer time.

Accidental breakage and damage of electronics and e-waste can pose a threat to the environment. As long as the toxic components in electronics are enclosed within the original manufacturer’s designed outer-shell of the gadget, they don’t pose much of a danger as they have been engineered to contain any such effects. However, accidental breakage or damage of such electronics or e-waste can lead to toxic elements leaking and contaminating their immediate environment. Damage to the environment due to accidental breakage of e-waste is a major concern in informal e-waste disposal and recycling facilities, so consumers need to ensure that their e-waste is being disposed only through authorized recycling centres.

AmazonBasics Recycling Program:

Reteck Envirotech Private Limited (“Reteck”), a recycling company, has been authorized to provide e-waste disposal service to all customers of Cloudtail who have purchased AmazonBasics products. Reteck has a PAN-India collection mechanism for collecting e-waste from customers and for further disposal of such e-waste as per the E-Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2016 effective October 1, 2016.

Cloudtail through Reteck will provide e-waste drop off centres and ensure environmentally sound management of electronics that have reached their end of life phase. Reteck has all the necessary authorizations from the appropriate governmental agencies for their processing facilities. Reteck ensures proper recycling and disposal of e-waste, and does not incinerate, send e-waste to landfill or export hazardous e-waste to other countries. This helps us protect the environment from any hazardous consequences, which would be otherwise caused by the inappropriate waste management of e-waste.
