Installation and General Instructions

General Use
1. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate
the oven when empty. The microwave energy will
reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food
or water is present to absorb energy. This can lead
to damage to the microwave oven including arcing
within the oven cavity.
2. If smoke is observed, touch Stop/Reset and
leave door closed in order to stifle any flames.
Disconnect the power cord, and/or shut off power
at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
3. The microwave oven is intended for heating food
and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and
heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp
cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition
or fire.
4. Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials
in oven. They may catch on fire.
5. Do not use recycled paper products, unless the
paper product is labelled as safe for microwave
oven use. Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires
when used.
6. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.
7. Do not hit or strike control panel. Damage to
controls may occur.
