They may catch fire as hot air escapes from the oven. The oven may also overheat and switch itself off automatically, and will remain off until it cools sufficiently. Always use oven mitts when removing a dish from the oven to avoid unintentional burns. Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive boiling.

Install the oven in compliance with the clearances stated in this manual. (See installing your microwave oven.) Take care when connecting other electrical appliances to sockets near the oven.
