Safety Precautions
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. 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 dry clothes in the microwave oven, which
may become carbonized or burned if heated too
long.
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 metal containers or crockery 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 8cm 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, as
detailed in microwave cook books.
16. The oven must never be used if the door seal is
not in good working order.
17. When liquids are cooked in microwave units, they
may be overheated above their boiling point
without visible bubbling. When the container is
removed, the shock may cause the sudden for
motion of steam bubbles. A fountain of hot liquid
can spring up out of the container explosively.
18. If smoke is observed keep the oven door closed
and switch off or disconnect the oven from the
power supply.
19. When food is heated or cooked in disposable
containers of plastic, paper or other combustible
materials look at the oven frequently to check if the
food container is deteriorating.
WARNING—Please ensure cooking times are
correctly set as over cooking may result
in FIRE and subsequent DAMAGE to the
OVEN.
