							ENWARNING 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 extension cord is used: 
1) The 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 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.CAUTION Personal Injury Hazard 
It is hazardous for anyone other than a compentent 
person to carry out any service or repair operation that 
involves the removal of a cover which gives protection 
against exposure to microwave energy.Disposal• When disposing of packaging material: observe local 
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EEC on Waste 
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires 
that old household electrical appliances must not be 
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste 
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately 
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of 
the materials they contain and reduce the impact 
on human health and the environment. The crossed 
out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds 
you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the 
appliance it must be separately collected. 
Consumers may take their old appliance to public 
waste collection areas, other communal collection 
areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a 
retailer when purchasing a similar new product. 
All major household appliance manufacturers are 
active in the creation of systems to manage the 
collection and disposal of old appliances.Important safety 
instructions14DANGER Electric Shock Hazard Touching some of the internal 
components can cause serious personal injury or death. 
Do not disassemble this appliance.  
						

							ENUtensilsSee the instructions on “Materials you can use in 
microwave oven or to be avoided in microwave oven.”   
There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not 
safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the
