GE countertop microwave safety precautions

• Never attempt to repair internal microwave components inside the microwave oven cabinet. The high-voltage capacitor inside the microwave retains a lethal electrical charge even when the microwave power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet. Have a service technician repair any internal microwave component failure
• Do not operate the microwave with the door open. Interlock switches should prevent the microwave from starting with the door open.
• Don't use the microwave if you see door damage. A damaged door can allow microwave radiation to leak out of the cavity. Have a service technician repair the microwave door and test the door for radiation leakage.
• Clean food residue out of the microwave cavity often.
