Microwave oven precautions
Only use microwave-safe utensils. Do not use metallic containers,
gold or silver trimmed dinnerware, skewers, etc.
Remove wire twist ties. Electric arcing may occur.
Do not use the oven to dry papers or clothes.
Use shorter times for small amounts of food to prevent overheating
or burning.
Keep the power cord and power plug away from water and heat
sources.
To avoid the risk of explosion, do not heat eggs with shells or hard-
boiled eggs. Do not heat airtight or vacuum-sealed containers, nuts,
tomatoes, etc.
Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. This is a fire
hazard. The oven may overheat and turn off automatically and will
remain off until it cools sufficiently.
Always use oven mitts when removing a dish.
Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow
the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive
boiling.
Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to avoid
getting scalded by escaping hot air or steam.
Do not operate the oven when it is empty. The oven will
automatically shut down for 30 minutes for safety purposes. We
recommend placing a glass of water inside the oven at all times to
absorb microwave energy in case the oven is started accidentally.
Install the oven in compliance with the clearances in this manual. (See
Installing your microwave oven.)
Use caution when connecting other electrical appliances to sockets
near the oven.
MICROWAVE OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in
harmful exposure to microwave energy.
• Do not operate the oven with the door open. Do not tamper with
the safety interlocks (door latches). Do not insert anything into
the safety interlock holes.
• Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or
allow food or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Keep the door and door sealing surfaces clean by wiping with a
damp cloth and then with a soft, dry cloth after each use.
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. Only operate after it
has been repaired by a qualified technician.
Important
: the oven door must close properly. The door must not
be bent; the door hinges must not be broken or loose; the door
seals and sealing surfaces must not be damaged.
• All adjustments or repairs must be done by a qualified technician.
