GENERAL PRECAUTIONS IN USE
A. Never operate the unit when it is empty.
Operating the oven with no load may shorten the
life of the magnetron. Whenever cooking dry
foods (dried fish, bread, etc.)or a small amount of
food,
be sure to put a glass of water into the cooking
compartment. The glass turntable may become
hot after operating, be careful when touching it.
B. Aluminum foil should be avoided because it will
disrupt cooking and may cause arcing. However,
small pieces may be used to cover some parts of
food to slow the cooking. Any aluminum foil used
should never be closer than 2.5 cm to any side
wall of the oven.

results should be checked carefully.
A. Put a container filled with water (about 1 liter)into
