INSTALLATION CAUTIONS
Position the oven so that the plug is easily accessible.
- Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire due to electric leakage.
Unplug the oven when it is not being used for long periods of time or during a
thunder/lightning storm.
- Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire.
CRITICAL USAGE WARNINGS
If the microwave appliance is flooded, please contact your nearest service
center. Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire.
Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive
Microwave Energy”, found in the beginning of this Safety Information Section.
If the microwave generates a strange noise, a burning smell or smoke, unplug
it immediately and contact your nearest service center.
- Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire.
In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.), ventilate the room
immediately. Do not touch the microwave, power cord, or plug.
- Do not use a ventilating fan.
- A spark may result in an explosion or fire.
Take care that the door or any of the other parts do not come into contact with
your body while cooking or just after cooking.
- Failing to do so may result in burns.
In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the oven, smother the
flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a
cookie sheet, or a flat tray.
Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended at high heat settings.
Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if
the vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate
sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.
If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.
- Always observe Safety Precautions when using your oven. Never try to repair
the oven on your own. There is dangerous voltage inside. If the oven needs
to be repaired, contact an authorized service center near you.
Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the appliance yourself.
- Because a high voltage current enters the product chassis during operation,
opening the chassis can result in electric shock or fire.
- You may be exposed to electromagnetic waves.
- When the oven requires repair, contact your nearest service center.
