IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

To avoid the possibility of injury

Warning: Do not operate the oven if it

is damaged or malfunctioning. Check

the following before use:

 a) The  door;  make  sure  the  door

closes properly and ensure it is not

misaligned or warped.

 b) The hinges and door safety latches;

check to make sure they are not

broken or loose.

 c) The door seals and sealing sur-

faces; ensure that they have not

been damaged.

 d) Inside the oven cavity or on the

door; make sure there are no dents.

 e) The power supply cord and plug;

ensure that they are not damaged.

Never adjust, repair or modify the

oven yourself.  It is hazardous for

anyone  other  than  a  competent

person to carry out any service or

repair operation which involves the

removal  of  a  cover  which  gives

protection  against  exposure  to

microwave energy.

Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the door

safety latches in any way.

Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the door

seals and sealing surfaces.
