PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlock.
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the:
- door (bent)
- hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
- door seals and sealing surfaces.
• Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.
