HE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without food

T

in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the appliance.

I

F YOU PRAC TICE OPERATING the oven, put a glass

of water inside. The water will absorb the mi­crowave energy and the oven will not be dam­aged.

To prevent this possibility the
following steps should be taken:

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.

2. Stir the liquid before placing the contain­er in the oven and let the teaspoon re­main in the container.

3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully re­moving the container from the oven.

can easily adjust this before you use that func­tion the next time. This is done by selecting a
Doneness level with the adjust knob right after
you have pressed the Start button.
