DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard
T ouching some of the internal
components can cause serious
personal injury or death. Do not
disassemble this appliance.

WARNING

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.

To Reduce the Risk of Injury to Persons
Grounding Installation

CLEANING

Be sure to disconnect the
oven from the power supply .

1. Clean the inside of the oven after using
with a slightly damp cloth.

2. Clean the accessories in the usual way
in soapy water.

3. The door frame and seal and
neighboring parts must be cleaned
carefully with a damp cloth when they
are dirty .

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 .

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 that has a 2-pronged plug with a
grounding slot & 2 grounding plates. A 2-slot
receptacle, with a grounding prong or grounding
terminal(s), will accept the plug of the appliance.
