EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having a earthing wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that
is properly installed and earthed.

WARNING: Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a

qualified electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly earthed. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-
blade earthing plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater
than the electrical rating of the appliance.

INSTALLATION

This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use
only.

Radio antenna, feeder and so on.

result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage. Using low voltage will cause slow
cooking. We are not responsible for damage resulting from use of this oven with a voltage of
ampere fuse other than those specified.

• This appliance is supplied with cable of special type, which, if damaged, must be repaired with

cable of same type.

A misaligned door, Broken door, A dent in cavity. If any of the above are visible, DO  NOT
