A microwave oven should only be used if
an inspection confirms all of the following conditions:
1. The grille is not damaged or broken.
2. The door fits squarely and securely and opens
and closes smoothly.
3. The door hinges are in good condition.
4. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are
neither buckled nor deformed.
5. The door seals are neither covered with food nor
have large burn marks.
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.
3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other
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.
6. Always use the oven with trays or cookware
recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e., an
absorbing material such as food or water) in the
oven cavity unless specifically 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.
9. Do not place sealed containers in microwave
ovens. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a
teat are considered to be sealed containers.
10. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
11. Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
12. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or repair operation
that involves the removal of a cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.
13. The surfaces are liable to get hot during use.
1 For initial use of GRILL, CONVECTION, and
COMBINATION, if you see white smoke arise, it
is not malfunction.
2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the
cabinet and the oven door will get hot during
GRILL, CONVECTION, and COMBINATION. Use
care when opening or closing door and when
inserting or removing food and accessories.
3. The oven has two grill heaters situated in the top
of the oven and a convection heater situated in
the back of the oven. After using the GRILL,
CONVECTION, and COMBINATION functions,
the oven will be very hot.
4. During use the appliance becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements inside the oven.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot
during use. Young children should be kept away.
WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric
shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave
energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the microwave
oven.
2. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - (for example, closed glass jars
) - may explode
and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
3. Use this microwave oven only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
4. As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
5. Do not operate this microwave oven if it is not
working properly or if it has been damaged or
dropped.
6. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
7. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
8. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter.
10. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
(b) Heating therapeutic wheat bags is not
recommended. If heating, do not leave
unattended and follow manufacturers'
instructions carefully.
(c) Remove wire twist-ties from bags before
placing bag in oven.
(d) If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep
oven door closed, turn oven off at the wall
switch, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
(e) Never leave microwave unattended while
cooking or reheating.
11. Do not remove outer panel from oven.
12. Appliances are not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate
remotecontrol system.
13. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Your microwave ovens should be operated on a
separate circuit from other appliances. The voltage
used must be the same as specified on this
microwave oven. Failure to do this may cause the
power board fuse to blow, and/or food to cook slower.
Do not insert higher value fuse in the power board.
14. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door glass, since they
can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.
15. The appliance must not be installed behind a
decorative door in order to avoid overheating.
