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.

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 competent 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.

- In cooking, steam may come out of food. Most will get out from vents. But some may accumulate on cool place like oven door. It is normal.

- It is forbidden to run the unit without any food inside. It is very dangerous.

- Power cord not plugged in tightly. Unplug. Then plug again after 10 seconds.

- Fuse blowing or circuit breaker works. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker (repaired by professional personnel of our company).

• Test outlet with other electrical appliances

- Door not closed well. Close door well.

- Dirty roller rest and oven bottom. Refer to "Maintenance of Microwave" to clean dirty parts.

- Clean the appliance thoroughly; remove any traces of grease, bits of food, etc. Make sure that are no metal abjects close to the oven walls. Never use metal abjects with the shelf. Never operate your oven when it is empty.

Before contacting the After Sales Service:

• make sure you can't fix the anomaly yourself;
- if you can't, contact an authorized Technical Assistance Service.
! Never engage non-authorized technicians.

Report:

• the type of anomaly;
• the oven model (Mod.);
• the serial number (S/N).
