service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
! Do not allow the power cord to overhang the work surface, or to become trapped,
kinked or pinched.
! Do not operate the oven when it is empty.
! The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating.
! The glass turntable and turntable roller must always be fitted when operating the oven.
! Do not use the microwave oven cavity for any type of storage, such as cookbooks etc.
