Important safety instructions: Read carefully & keep for
future reference
To avoid the danger of fire
The microwave oven should not be
left unattended during operation.
Power levels that are too high or
cooking times that are too long may
overheat foods resulting in a fire.
The electrical outlet must be readily
accessible so that the unit can be unplugged
easily in an emergency.
It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If food being heated begins to smoke,
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and
unplug the oven and wait until the food
has stopped smoking. Opening the door
while food is smoking may cause a fire.
Only use microwave-safe containers
and utensils.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when using disposable plastic, paper or
other combustible food containers.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven
cavity, the turntable and turntable support
after use. These must be dry and free
from grease. Built-up grease may
overheat and begin to smoke or catch
fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the
oven or ventilation openings. Do not block the
ventilation openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc.,
from food and food packages. Arcing on metallic
surfaces may cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil
for deep frying. The temperature cannot be
controlled and the oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, only use special
microwave popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside
the oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to
ensure the oven is operating as desired.
See the corresponding hints in this operation
manual.
To avoid the possibility of injury
Warning: Do not operate the oven if it
is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the
following before use:
a) The door; make sure the door closes
properly and ensure it is not misaligned
or warped.
b) The hinges and door safety latches;
check to make sure they are not broken
or loose.
c) The door seals and sealing surfaces;
ensure that they have not been
damaged.
d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door;
make sure there are no dents.
e) The power supply cord and plug;
ensure that they are not damaged.
Never adjust, repair or modify the
oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone
other than a competent person to carry
out any service or repair operation which
involves the removal of a cover which
gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
Do not operate the oven with the door
open or alter the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object
between the door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up
on the door seals and adjacent parts.
Follow instructions for "Care & cleaning".
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to a deterioration of
the surface that could adversely affect the
life of the appliance and possibly result in
a hazardous situation.
