Safety tips for operation of microwave ovens

• Do not operate the oven when it is empty.
• Exercise extreme caution if you have a pacemaker implant. Microwave
radiation may cause pacemaker interference.
• Persons with pacemaker implants should not be near a microwave oven
unless they are sure that it is in good operating condition and there is no
leakage of microwave radiation.
• Check to see that the door seal and inside surfaces of the door and oven
cavity are clean after each use.
• Keep out of the reach of children. Do not permit young children to operate
the oven.
• Do not put your face close to door window when oven is operating.

Safety tips for installation and maintenance of microwave ovens

•
Take special care to ensure that no damage occurs to the part of the oven
making contact with the door or door seals.
•
Ensure that the microwave is unplugged or disconnected from electrical
power before reaching into any accessible openings or attempting any
repairs.
•
Ensure that the adjustment of applied voltages, replacement of the
microwave power generating component, dismantling of the oven
components, and refitting of wave-guides are undertaken only by persons
who have been specially trained for such tasks. The services of a qualified
repairman should be sought when any malfunction is suspected.
•
Do not bypass the door interlocks.
•
Do not test the microwave power-generating component without an
appropriate load connected to its output. The power generated must never
be allowed to radiate freely into occupied areas.
