Installation
1. After unpacking, dispose of all packing materials in accordance with local ordinances.
2. Do NOT remove the cover from the outside of the microwave.
3. Check the microwave for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, dam-
aged door seals and sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches
or dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate
the oven and contact customer service at our toll-free number.
