ii SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding Instructions
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 oven is equipped with a cord that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug, which must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if uncertain about the ability to
follow grounding instructions or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Xdo not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING: Improper grounding can result in risk of electric shock.
Power Cord Replacement or Removal
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person.
WARNING: If the plug is removed during service or maintenance, the plug must remain accessible to the user and within proximity to the oven.
Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy
(a)Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
(b)Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c)Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) Door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d)The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
RF Interference Considerations
The Sota (model NGO) oven generates radio frequency signals. This device has been tested and was determined to be in compliance with applicable portions of FCC part 18 requirements and to the protection requirements of Council Directive 89/336/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility at the time of manufacture. However, some equipment with sensitivity to signals below these limits may experience interference.
If your equipment experiences interference:
aIncrease the physical separation between this oven and the sensitive equipment.
aIf the sensitive device can be grounded, do so following accepted grounding practices.
aIf battery-powered microphones are being affected, ensure that the batteries are fully charged.
aKeep sensitive equipment on separate electrical circuits if possible.
aRoute intercom wires, microphone wires, speaker cables, etc. away from the oven..
Equipotential Bonding Symbol
This symbol identifies the equipotential bonding stud. It is used in banks of appliances to keep them at the same potential.
