Cooling with the appliance
door open
Heavily soiled seal
Appliance door used as a
seat or storage space
Transporting the appliance
Operating the microwave
without food
Only leave the cooking compartment to cool with the
door closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance
door. Even if the door is only open a crack, the fronts
of adjacent units may be damaged over time.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. The fronts of
adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the
seal clean.
Do not sit or place anything on the open appliance
door. Do not place ovenware or accessories on the
appliance door.
Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle.
The door handle is not designed to bear the weight of
the appliance and may break off.
Only switch on the microwave if there is food in the
cooking compartment. Without food, the appliance
may overload. An exception to this rule is for brief
testing of ovenware (see notes on ovenware).
