Ownership Registration Card that came with your

write these numbers here:

Model Number

Serial Number

Use these numbers in any correspondence or service
calls concerning your microwave oven.

If you received a damaged oven…

Immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that sold
you the oven.

Save time and money. Before you 
request service…

Check the Problem Solver in the back of this guide. It
lists causes of minor operating problems that you can
correct yourself.

All these things are normal with your
microwave oven.

• Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.

• Light reflection around door or outer case.

• Dimming oven light and change in blower sound

may occur while operating at power levels other
than high.

• Dull thumping sound while oven is operating.

• Some TV-radio interference might be noticed 

while using your microwave oven. It’s similar to 
the interference caused by other small appliances
and does not indicate a problem with your
microwave. If you notice this interference, check
that the microwave oven is on a different electrical
circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from 
the microwave as possible, or check the position 
and signal of the receiving antenna. 

(a) Do Not Attempt to operate this oven with 

the door open since open-door operation can
result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.

(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.

(c) Do Not Operate the oven if it is damaged. It is

particularly important that the oven door 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.
