General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Make sure that your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the
voltage stated on the appliance rating plate.
• The socket must be readily accessible so that you can easily unplug the
microwave oven in an emergency.
• Do not kink or damage the power cord. Do not let it hang over the edge of a
table or benchtop, or touch hot or sharp surfaces.
• Make sure the cord does not run under the microwave oven. Run it so that
there will be no risk of anyone pulling it inadvertently or tripping over it.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution and avoid other electrical
hazards, do not immerse the cord or plug in water, spill liquids
into the oven or operate it with wet hands.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not insert any objects into the appliance.
• Remove the cord and plug from the power socket before cleaning, servicing,
maintenance or moving the appliance.
• When the appliance is not in use, switch it off and unplug it. Do not pull the
cord when disconnecting, grip the plug and pull it gently out of the outlet.
• The installation of a residual current device (safety switch) is recommended
to provide additional safety protection when using electrical appliances. It
is advisable that a safety switch with a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30mA be installed in the electrical circuit supplying the appliance.
