This microwave oven 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 microwave oven is equipped with an 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  

electric shock.

WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, 

fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave energy:

1.  Read all instructions before using microwave oven.

2.  Some products such as whole eggs and sealed  

 

containers - (for example, closed glass jars and sealed    

baby bottles with teat) may explode and should not be    

heated in microwave oven. Refer to cookbook for more    

details.

described in this manual.

when used by children.

5.  Do not operate this microwave oven, if it is not working 

properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

6.  To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

  (a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave

7.  Do not remove outer panel from oven.

Your microwave ovens should be operated on a separate 

circuit from other appliances. The voltage used must be the 

same as specified on this microwave oven. Failure to do 

this may cause the power board fuse to blow, and/or food to 

cook slower.

Do not insert higher value fuse in the power board.

COMBINATION is in use. Children should be kept away.

After using this oven (such as Grill, Combination), the fan 

may rotate to cool the electric components. This is perfectly 

normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while 

the fan operates.
