• Some food wrappers may be foil lined. Check the wrapping carefully
before cooling or heating. A small amount of foil is acceptable if it is
not wrinkled or near the sides of the microwave.
• If the microwave screen is not lit, plug another electrical appliance
into the same outlet as the microwave to verify AC power is preset. If
the test item works, contact an appliance repair facility to have the
microwave checked.
Microwave Facts:
One of the most useful documents for the microwave is the operations manual,
located in the owner’s information file box. Read it carefully and keep it for
reference. Another useful item is a microwave cookbook. Many will contain
information about cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
A properly functioning microwave oven presents no hazard with ordinary use.
The oven has safety interlocks to prevent use with the door open, and screens to
prevent microwave leakage. These safety features should be kept in good
condition - never attempt to bypass the safety interlocks or allow debris or residue
to accumulate on the door or oven face. If the oven is damaged, do not attempt to
use it.
The oven should be adjusted or repaired by qualified service personnel. Check
the Owner’s Manual for maintenance tips and other information. Be sure to
register the microwave oven with the manufacturer.
WARNING: If a fire flares up when using the cooktop turn off
the ventilation fan. The fan may spread the flame. If the
ventilation fan has started automatically from a heated cooktop
it can not be manually turned off. Turn off the microwave AC
circuit breaker to prevent the flame from getting up into the
microwave and spreading the fire.
NOTE: When dry camping, minimize using the inverter to
operate the microwave due to the high rate of battery
consumption.
NOTE: The microwave is for food preparation only. Do not use
the microwave to dry clothes, newspapers, shoes or other items.
