make sure you read them carefully. It is important that this
user manual is retained with the appliance for future reference.
Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner,
or if you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure

• The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the microwave
oven from operating when the door is open. Do not tamper
with them, or attempt to operate the oven with the door
open as open door operation can result in exposure to
microwave energy.
• It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly
and that there is no damage to the: (1) door, (2) hinges
and latches, or (3) door seals and sealing surface.
• Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at
any time. Doing so may cause exposure to extremely
high voltage.

with the installation instructions found in the 'Installation'
section.

• Accessible surfaces of the microwave oven may get
HOT while it is operating.
• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumulate
on door sealing surfaces. See the 'Cleaning and care'
