SAFETY
1. The oven must be on a leveled surface.
2. The turntable and turntable roller rest must be in the oven during cooking. Place the
cookware gently on the turntable and handle it carefully to avoid possible breakage.

without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN
VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
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 grounding wire with
a grounding plug. The plug must be
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is

risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
3. If a long cord sets or extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension 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 longer 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 Instructions
Always keep the oven clean
1. Cleaning the glass viewing window, the inner door panel and oven front face.
For best performance and to maintain the high degree of safety, the inner door panel and
oven front face should be free of food or grease build-up. Wipe these parts with a mild
detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
2. Cleaning the control panel and plastic parts.
Do not apply a detergent or an alkaline liquid spray to the control panel and plastic parts,
as this may cause damage to these parts.
Use a dry cloth (not a soaked cloth) to clean these parts.
3. Cleaning the oven interior
After use be sure to clean up spilled liquids, spattered oil and food debris as quickly as
possible. If the oven is used when dirty, efficiency drops and the dirt gets stuck on the oven
surface and may cause bad odours. Clean the interior with a cloth soaked in luke-warm
water with a mild detergent dissolved in it, then rinse the soap off with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: Do Not wipe plastic and painted sections of the oven with bleach, thinners or
other cleaning agents, as this may cause these parts to dissolve or change sharp.
