To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Read and observe the PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY section on the following page.

Grounding Instructions

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 electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord that has a grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING!

Improper use of grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

• Consult an electrician or qualified service technician if you do not fully understand the grounding instructions or if you are unsure whether the appliance is properly grounded.
• Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified service technician or qualified person install an outlet near the appliance.
• Install or place this appliance only according to the supplied installation instructions.
• Certain products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers (e.g., closed glass jars), may explode and should not be heated in this oven. Such use of this oven could result in injury.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive vapors or chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
• As with any appliance, it is important to closely supervise children when they use the appliance.
• Do not operate this appliance if the power plug or cord is damaged, if it is not functioning properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged.
• Service on this appliance should only be performed by a trained and supported service technician from Fisher & Paykel.

Arcing

Arcing is the term used to describe the appearance of sparks in microwave ovens.

Arcing can occur during speed cook and microwave cooking. If you notice arcing, press CANCEL/OFF and correct the problem.
