• Never operate the appliance when it is empty. Food
or water should always be in the appliance during
operation to absorb the microwave energy.
• Do not operate your appliance 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. It could result in
harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.
• Do not use the appliance for the purpose of
dehumidification. (ex.Operating the microwave oven
with wet newspapers, clothes, toys, electric devices,
pet or child etc.) It can be the cause of serious
damage to safety such as a fire, a burn or a sudden
death due to an electric shock.
• Be certain to use proper accessories on each
operation mode. Improper use could result in
damage to your appliance and accessories, or could
make spark and a fire.
CAUTION
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons,
malfunction, or damage to the product or
property when using the appliance, follow basic
safety precautions, including the following:
Installation
• Install the appliance according to the installation
requirements that are in this manual.
• Allow at least 8 cm from the front of the oven
door to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance.
• The turntable must always be in place when you
operate the appliance.
• Do not block an exhaust outlet that is located on
the top, bottom or side of the appliance.
• Do not place any object (such as kitchen towels,
napkins, etc.) between the appliance front face
and the door.
• In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent
resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance
must not be supplied through an external switching
device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that
is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
• Place the microwave oven on a flat surface with
more than 85 cm height. And allow at least 20 cm
from the top, 20 cm from the sides, and 20 cm
back of the oven for proper ventilation.
Operation
• Do not touch the appliance (including the oven door,
outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, accessories
and dishes) during grill mode, convection mode
and auto cook operations. The temperature of
accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance
is operating. There is the danger of a burn unless
wearing thick culinary gloves.
• Do not place an object(a book, a box, water
bottle, vase etc.) on the appliance. The appliance
may overheat or catch fire or the object may fall,
causing injury to persons.
• Do not operate the appliance with the door
open. It could result in harmful exposure to
excessive microwave energy.
• Set the cooking times correctly. The small
amounts of food require shorter cooking or
heating time. Over cooking may result in the
food catching on fire and subsequent damage to
your appliance.
• Do not use recycled paper products. They may
contain impurities which may cause sparks or
fires when used in cooking.
• Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels or
newspaper, unless your cook book contains
instructions for the food you are cooking.

for cooking.
• Do not use the appliance to dry newspapers or
clothes. They may catch fire.
• Do not cook eggs in their shell. Eggs in their shell
and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated
in microwave ovens since they may explode, even
after microwave heating has ended. Pressure will
build up inside the egg which will burst.
• Do not attempt deep fat frying in your appliance. This
could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
• Pierce the skin of potatoes, apples or any such fruit
or vegetables before cooking. They could burst.
• If smoke is observed (or emitted), switch off or
unplug the appliance and keep the door closed
in order to stifle any flame.
• Follow exact directions given by each
manufacturer for their popcorn product.
- Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn.
- Never attempt to pop leftover kernels.
- Do not leave the appliance unattended while
the corn is being popped.
- If corn fails to pop after the suggested times,
discontinue cooking.
- Overcooking could result in the corn catching
a fire.
• The power connection may be achieved by
having the plug accessible or by incorporating a
switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the
wiring rules. Using improper plug or switch can
cause an electric shock or a fire.
• All air vents should be kept clear during cooking.
If air vents are covered during appliance
operation the appliance may overheat.
