POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
A SPECIAL NOTE ON ARCING
ADDENDUM
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 damaged. It is particularly important that the
oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
1. DOOR (bent)
2. HINGES AND LATCHES (broken or loosened)
3. DOOR SEALS AND SEALING SURFACES
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly

“Arcing” refers to the presence of sparks inside the microwave oven.
It can be caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the inside
walls of the oven.
• Foil not closely molded to food,
where edges have been left
sticking up.
• Small metal parts such as twist-ties,
poultry pins, or gold-rimmed
dishes.
• Recycled paper towels which may
contain small amounts of metal.
If this product is not maintained in a good state of cleanliness, its surface
could be degraded. This could affect the lifespan of the product and lead to
a dangerous situation.
