ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This oven is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
— Improper use of
the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock.
Permanent and Correct Installation
Temporary Use
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug.
Do not
under any circumstances cut or remove the grounding
pin from the plug. Do not use an extension cord
. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
serviceperson install an outlet near the appliance.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to
a separate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch
circuit, single grounded receptacle. The receptacle should be
located inside the cabinet directly above the Microwave Oven
mounting location.
Note:
• If you have any questions about the grounding or
electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or
serviceperson.
• Neither Bertazzoni nor the dealer can accept any liability
for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting
from failure to observe the correct electrical connection
procedures.
RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the over the range
microwave to your radio or TV, check that the over the range
microwave is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio
or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position
and signal of receiving antenna.
BEFORE USING MICROWAVE
NEVER
use the oven without the turntable and support nor
turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed
in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and
counterclockwise.
ALWAYS
have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the
microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may
hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the
exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or
reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room
humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount
of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered
foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered
ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to
dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 950 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure.
In using recipes or package directions check food a minute
or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
COOKWARE SAFETY
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause
burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should
NEVER
be used as potholders because they can trail
across hot surface elements and ignite or get caught on
appliance parts.
•
DO NOT
heat unopened food containers; buildup of
pressure may cause the container to explode and result
in injury.
• Use care when opening the microwave door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
•
PREPARED
FOOD
WARNING:
Follow
food
manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food
and its container. The food could be contaminated.
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new
over the range microwave. Make sure the utensil does not
touch the interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and
reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram
®
), such as Corningware
®
.
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex
®
)
• microwave-safe plastics
• microwave-safe paper plates
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating
time. Follow manufacturer’s directions.)
