Important safety instructions
Read carefully and keep for future reference
WARNING:
Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as over cooking may result in FIRE
and subsequent DAMAGE to the OVEN.
1 Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any
adjustments or repairs to the door, control
panel, safety interlock switches or any other
part of the oven.It is hazardous for anyone to
carry out any service or repair operation which
involves the removal of any cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave
energy. Repairs should only be undertaken by
a qualified service technician.
2 Do not operate the oven when empty. It is best
to leave a glass of water in the oven when not
in use. The water will safely absorb all
microwave energy, if the oven is accidentally
started.
3 Do not use the oven for the purpose of
dehumidifi-cation. It can be the cause of serious
damage of safety. (ex. Operating the
microwave oven with the wet newspapers,
clothes, toys, pet or portable electric devices,
etc.)
4 Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels,
unless your cook book contains instructions, for
the food you are cooking.
5 Do not use newspaper in place of paper towels
for cooking.
6 Do not use wooden containers. They may heat-
up and char. Do not use ceramic containers
which have metallic (e.g. gold or silver) inlays.
Always remove metal twist ties. Metal objects in
the oven may arc, which can cause serious
damage.
7 Do not operate the oven with a kitchen towel, a
napkin or any other obstruction between the
door and the front edges of the oven, which
may cause microwave energy leakage.
8 Do not use recycled paper products since they
may contain impurities which may cause sparks
and/or fires when used in cooking.
9 Do not rinse the turntable by placing it in water
just after cooking. This may cause breakage or
damage.
10 Small amounts of food require shorter cooking
or heating time. If normal times are allowed
they may overheat and burn.
11 Be certain to place the oven so the front of the
door is 8 cm or more behind the edge of the
surface on which it is placed, to avoid
accidental tipping of the appliance.
12 Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes,
apples or any such fruit or vegetable.
13 Do not cook eggs in their shell. Pressure will
build up inside the egg which will burst.
14 Do not attempt deep fat frying in your oven.
15 Remove the plastic wrapping from food before
cooking or defrosting. Note though that in
some cases food should be covered with
plastic film, for heating or cooking.
16 If the oven door or door seals are damaged,
the oven must not be operated until it has
been rep-aired by a qualified service
technician.
17 If smoke is observed, switch off or disconnect
the oven from the power supply and keep the
oven door closed in order to stifle any flames.
18 When food is heated or cooked in disposable
containers of plastic, paper or other
combustible materials, check the oven
frequently due to the possibility of the food
container is deteriorating.
19 Only allow children to use the oven without
super- vision when adequate instructions have
been given so that the child is able to use the
oven in a safe way and understands the
hazards of improper use.
20 Liquids or other foods must not be heated in
sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
21 Do not operate the oven, if the door seals and
adjacent parts of the microwave oven are
faulty, until the oven has been repaired by a
qualified service technician.
22 Check the utensils are suitable for use in
microwave ovens before use.
23 Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet,
rear cabinet, oven cavity,accessories and
dishes during grill mode, convection mode
and auto cook operations, unless wearing
thick oven gloves, as they will become
hot.Before clearing make sure they are not
hot.
