Causes of damage

Caution!
Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door
■
will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of
adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal
clean.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits
■
removed since they may explode, even after microwave
heating has ended.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to
■
deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life
of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
■
appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead
to overloading. Never switch on the appliance unless there is
food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this rule is
a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable
crockery").
Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too
■
high. Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts. Always
place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The disc may jump if
overloaded.
