the oven.
• The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements. Children must be kept away unless continuously supervised.
• Do not use recycled paper products. They may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires
when used in cooking.
• The door or the outer surface may get hot when the appliance is operating.
• Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become
overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding
ingredients (instant coffee, etc.), resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. In all containers, for
best results, stir the liquid several times before heating. Always stir liquid several times between
reheatings.
Maintenance
• If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by an
authorized service person.
• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be removed. Failure to maintain the
oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of
the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
• Do not rinse trays and racks by placing them in water immediately after cooking. This may cause
breakage or damage. Improper use could result in damage to the oven.
• Oversized food or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in a microwave oven as they may
create a fire or risk of electric shock.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a
risk of electric shock.
• Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven when not
in use.
• Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

switches to make sure the power is off when the door is open.

• Keep a browning dish at least 3/16 inch above the oven floor. Carefully read and follow the instructions
for the browning dish. If you use a browning dish incorrectly, you could damage the oven floor.
Ventilation

operating the microwave. External components of the microwave may become very hot and cause
burns or other injury if touched .
