IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
8
It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation
that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
9
When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children should only use the oven under adult
supervision due to the high temperatures generated.
1
You cannot operate your oven with the door open due to the safety interlocks built into the door
mechanism. It is important not to tamper with the safety interlocks.
•
It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy. (Safety interlocks automatically switch off any
cooking activity when the door is opened.)
2
Do not place any object (such as kitchen towels, napkins, etc.) between the oven front face and the door
or allow food or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
•
It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.
3
Do not operate your oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly
and that there is no damage to the: (1) door(bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loose), (3) door seals
and sealing surfaces.
•
It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.
4
Please ensure cooking times are correctly set, small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating
time.
•
Over cooking may result in the food catching on fire and subsequent damage to your oven.
5
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven,
*
Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.
*
Do not overheat.
*
Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
*
After heating, let it stand in the oven for a short time; stir or shake it again carefully and check the
temperature of it before consuming to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars).
•
Be careful when handling the container. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling
without evidence of bubbling. This could result in hot liquids suddenly boiling over.
6
An exhaust outlet is located on the top, bottom or side of the oven. Don’t block the outlet.
•
It could result in damage to your oven and poor cooking results.
7
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.
•
Improper use could result in damage to your oven.
8
Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels, unless your cook book contains instructions for the food you
are cooking. And do not use newspaper in place of paper towels for cooking.
•
Improper use can cause an explosion or a fire.
