TO AVOID THE RISK OF SHOCK:
DO NOT remove top or outer panel from oven. Repairs must be done only by a qualified service
person.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY:
DO NOT tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to Door, Control Panel Frame, Safety
Interlock Switches, or any other part of oven, microwave leakage may result.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE:
1. DO NOT operate the microwave oven empty or use metal containers. When using the microwave
oven without water or food, microwave energy cannot be absorbed and will continuously reflect
throughout the cavity. This will cause arcing and damage the oven cavity, door or other components,
which can lead to a fire hazard.
2. DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven.
3. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven, or use newspaper or paper bags for cooking.
4. DO NOT hit or strike Control Panel. Damage to controls may occur.
5. DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper product is labeled as safe for microwave oven use.
Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparking.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING:
POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing items from the oven. Heat is transferred from the HOT food
to the cooking container and from the container to the Glass Tray. The Glass Tray can also be very HOT after remov-
ing the cooking container from the oven.
Glass Tray
1. DO NOT operate the oven without the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in place.
2. DO NOT operate the oven without the Glass Tray fully engaged on the drive hub. Improper cooking or damage to
the oven could result. Verify that the Glass Tray is properly engaged and rotating by observing its rotation when
you press Start. Note: The Glass Tray can turn in either direction.
3. Use only the Glass Tray specifically designed for this oven. DO NOT substitute any other glass tray.
4. If the Glass Tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.
5. DO NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray. Always place food in a microwave safe dish, or on a rack set in a
microwave safe dish.
6. If food or utensil on the Glass Tray touches oven walls, causing the tray to stop moving, the tray will automatically
rotate in the opposite direction.
Roller Ring
1. The Roller Ring and oven floor should be cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.
2. Always replace the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in their proper positions.
3. The Roller Ring must always be used for cooking along with the Glass Tray.
For proper use of your oven, read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions.
