Grounding instructions

This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. Using a high voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
   1. When heating food in plastic or paper container, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
   2. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
   3. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
   4. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.
8. WARNING: Liquid or other food must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
9. Microwave heating of beverage can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.
10. Do not fry food in the oven. Hot oil can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in skin burns.

Microwave cooking principles

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

Utensils guide

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round/oval di shes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
