PRECAUTIONS

result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper

open.
(b) DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door, or allow soil or
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

close properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (bent)
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.
Microwave Oven Safety
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential hazards that can kill or
hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER”,
“WARNING” or “CAUTION”. These words mean:
DANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow
instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
CAUTION
You can be exposed to a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,
and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
