In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a earthing wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed. WARNING: Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly earthed. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade earthing plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. INSTALLATION 1 Steady, flat locationset on a steady, flat surface.

Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes. 2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven. 3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc. 4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base. 5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles. 6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy. 7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when used during cooking. 8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn popper or unless it's commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer. 9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first piercing them several times with a fork. 10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's directions. (popping time is generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, it can cause scorchings and fire. Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or may break. 11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames. 12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. 13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. 14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has been heated in a microwave oven before you give it to somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This is important because things which have been heated in a microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though the microwave oven cooking has stopped. 15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended; 16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven. 17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire. 18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
