1. The door fi ts squarely and securely and opens
and closes smoothly.
2. The door hinges are in good condition.
3. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are
neither buckled nor deformed.
4. The door seals are neither covered with food nor

PRECAUTIONS. Microwave radiation from
microwave ovens can cause harmful effects if the
following precautions are not taken:
1. Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking
devices on the door.
2. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object,
through a grille or between the door and the oven
while the oven is operating.

heavy metal objects in the oven.
4. Do not let other metallic articles, e.g., fast food
foil containers, touch the side of the oven.
5. Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with
water and a mild detergent at regular intervals.
Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may
scratch or scour surfaces around the door.

oven cavity unless specifi cally allowed in the
manufacturer’s literature.
8. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy
objects such as food containers on the door while
it is open.

a cord having an earthing wire with an earthing plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and earthed.
WARNING—Improper use of the earthing plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
