Precautions

Warning
  • Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it to burst.

  • Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or water should always be in the oven during operation to absorb the microwave energy.

  • Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the edge of a countertop to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.

  • To program the oven, press the center of each button firmly. When a button is pressed correctly, a beep sounds and the oven is activated. Do not press several buttons at once.

  • Do not strike the control panel with silverware, utensils, etc. It may be damaged or broken.

  • Always be careful when taking cookware out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. See the Cookware Guide section for more information.

  • To avoid breakage, allow cookware to cool before rinsing or submerging in water. Always allow the turntable to cool before removing it from the oven.

  • Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes. They may catch fire.

  • Use thermometers that have been approved for microwave oven cooking.

  • The turntable must always be in place when you operate the oven.
