BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

• Loosely wind the cord when

storing the microwave oven.
Do not wrap the cord around
the microwave oven.

• When heating food in plastic or

paper containers, keep an eye on
the microwave oven due to the
possibility of ignition.

• The glass window has been

specially treated to make it
stronger, more durable and safer
than ordinary glass, however it
is not unbreakable. If dropped
or struck hard, it may break or
weaken, and could at a later time
shatter into many small pieces
without apparent cause.

• If you see any sparks, arcing or

flashing within the microwave
oven, press the STOP/CLEAR
button and correct the problem
or contact Breville Consumer
Support for assistance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• This appliance is equipped with

a power cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The
appliance must be grounded using
a 3-hole properly grounded outlet.
In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock.

• Improper use of the grounding

plug can result in risk of
electric shock.

• If the power outlet is a standard

2-prong wall outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.

• Do not, under any circumstances,

cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord or use
an adapter.

• Consult a qualified electrician if

the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.

• We do not recommend using an

extension cord with this appliance.

NOTE

Do not use an adapter plug with
this appliance.
