WARNING

• Do not operate the oven when it is empty or

without the glass tray. It is best to leave a glass
of water in the oven when not in use. The water
will safely absorb all microwave energy, if the
oven is accidentally started.

CAUTION

• To avoid risk of personal injury or property

damage, do not use stoneware, metal cookware,
or metal rimmed cookware in the oven.

• Keep aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the oven

walls and other pieces of foil. Foil can cause
arcing if it gets too close to the oven walls during
cooking.

NOTE

• This microwave oven is designed for household

use only. It is not recommended for commercial
use.

• Do not overcook food. The microwave oven can

be damaged.

• A beep sounds each time you press a key. A

melody signals the end of a timer or a cooking
cycle.
