You
cannot
operate
your
oven
with
the
door
open
due
to
the
safety
interlocks
built
into
the
door mechanism.
These
safety
interlocks
automatically
switch
off
any
cooking
activity
when
the
door
is
opened;
which
in
the
case
of
a
microwave
oven
could
result
in
harmful
exposure
to
microwave
energy.
It
is
important
not
to
tamper
with
the
safety
interlocks.
Do
not
place
any
object
between
the
oven
front
face
and
the
door
or
allow
food
or
cleaner
residue
to
accumulate
on
sealing
surfaces.
Do
not
operate
your
oven
if
it
is
damaged.
It
is
particularly
important
that
the
oven
door
closes
properly
and
that
there
is
no
damage
to
the:
(1)
door(bent),
(2)
hinges
and
latches
(broken
or
loosened),
(3)
door
seals
and
sealing
surfaces.
Your
oven
should
not
be
adjusted
or
repaired
by
anyone
except
qualified
service
personnel.
Warning
Precautions
to
avoid
possible
exposure
to
excessive
microwave
energy.
Precautions
When
heating
liquids,
e.g.
soups,
sauces
and
beverages
in
your
microwave
oven,
delayed
eruptive
boiling
can
occur
without
evidence
of
bubbling.
This
could
result
in
a
sudden
boil
over
of
the
hot
liquid.
To
prevent
this
possibility
the
following
steps
should
be
taken:
1.
Avoid
using
straight
sided containers
with
narrow
necks.
2.
Do
not
overheat.
3.
Stir
the
liquid
before
placing
the
container
in
the
oven
and
again
halfway
through
the
heating
time.
4.
After
heating,
allow
to
stand
in
the
oven
for
a
short
time,
stir
or
shake
them(especially
the
contents
of
feeding
bottles
and
baby
food
jars)
again
carefully
and
check
the
temperature
of
them
before
consumption
to
avoid
burns
(especially,
contents
of
feeding
bottles
and
baby
food
jars).
Be
careful
when
handling
the
container.
Warning
Always
allow
food
to
stand
after
being
cooked
by
microwaves
and
check
the
temperature
of
them
before
consumption.
Especially
contents
of
feeding
bottles
and
baby
food
jars.
Please
ensure
cooking
times
are
correctly
set
as
over
cooking
may
result
in
the
FOOD
catching
fire
and
subsequent
damage
to
your
oven.

How

Your
microwave
oven
is
one
of the
safest
of
all
home
appliances.
W
hen
the
door
is
opened,
the
oven
automatically
stops
producing
microwaves.
Microwave
energy
is
converted
completely
to
heat
when
it
enters
food,
leaving
no
"left

energy
to
harm
you
when
you
eat
your
food.
