DANGER
EN
Electric Shock Hazard Touching some of the internal
components can cause serious personal injury or death.
Do not disassemble this appliance.
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 compentent
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.
