$Use your microwave oven only to heat food.

$Do not heat oil for frying, or try to fry food in the microwave oven. The oil could catch fire.

$Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. If covered containers are used, the covers should be loose. Move such containers to and from the oven with care as food may splash and the lid may fall.

Before you use your microwave oven again, consult a service technician and have the oven tested .

Testing Your Oven: Place a cup of water in the oven and heat it on full power for 2 minutes. If the water gets hot the oven is working.

Dim Oven Light: During low power microwave cooking the oven light may appear to dim slightly. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
