PRECAUTIONS
TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
1. Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result
in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the:
a. Door (bent)
b. Hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
c. Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.
CAUTION
1. Do NOT attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel
housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Do NOT remove outer panel from
oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service person.
2. Do NOT operate the oven when it is empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously
throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.
3. If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the STOP/RESET pad and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
4. Do NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch fire.
5. Do NOT use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks
and/or fires.
6. Do NOT use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.
7. Do NOT hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may occur.
8. Pot holders may be needed when removing food from the oven. Heat is transferred from the
hot food to the container.
9. Do NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
10. Do NOT operate the oven without the splatter shield (located in the top of the inner cavity) in
place.
11. Do NOT slide the removable shelf in or out when placing or removing food. This action could
cause damage to the shelf or cause hot food to tip towards the operator.
