Read and follow the specific
“PRECAUTIONS ~ AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found on page 3.
● To reduce the risk of fire in the
oven cavity:
–Do not overcook food. Carefhlly
attend appliance if paper, plastic
or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.

accident the oven should run
empty a minute or two, no harm is
done. However, try to avoid
operating the oven empty at all
times—it saves energy and
prolongs life of the oven.

should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and
disconnect the power cord, or shut
