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. 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. See page
16.
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.
