Important safety instructions: Read carefully and
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.
