BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
• Only use utensils that are suitable for use
in microwave ovens.
• Food grade foil should not be used in
the microwave oven as this could cause
sparking and/or fire.
• Ensure that lids and caps covering
containers are removed prior to
placing liquids and/or foods into the
microwave oven.
• Feeding bottles and baby food jars should
have lids and caps removed before
warming or heating in the microwave oven.
To avoid burns or scalding after heating,
the contents should be stirred or shaken
and the temperature checked before
serving.
• Always ensure the temperature of food or
drink which has been heated or cooked
in the microwave oven has been tested
before eating, drinking or serving to others,
especially children, disabled or
elderly people.
• The heating of liquids and beverages in
the microwave oven can result in delayed
eruptive boiling. Care must be taken when
handling any containers containing hot
liquids or beverages.
• Do not heat popcorn in the microwave
oven unless it has been commercially
packaged for microwave use. There may be
a number of un-popped kernels that may
overcook and burn when popping popcorn.
Do not use oil unless recommended by
the manufacturer. Do not pop popcorn
longer than the manufacturer’s instructions
(popping time should not exceed
3 minutes). Longer cooking could cause
scorching or fire.
• Do not cook any food surrounded by a
membrane (such as potatoes, chicken
liver, egg yolks, oysters, etc) without first
piercing the membrane several times with
a fork or similar utensils.
• Eggs in the shell and whole hard boiled
eggs should not be cooked or heated in
the microwave oven as they may explode
during cooking, at the end of cooking or
after removing from the microwave oven.
• Do not heat oil or fat in the microwave
oven. Doing so may cause the microwave
oven and/or the oil to overheat and/or
ignite.
• If any smoke is observed, switch off and
unplug the microwave oven at the power
outlet. Keep the door closed to stifle
any flames.
• Do not attempt to operate the microwave
oven by any method other than those
described in this instruction book.
• Do not disconnect the microwave oven
from the power supply by pulling on the
cord to unplug from the power outlet.
• When storing the microwave oven loosely
wind the cord. Do not wrap the cord around
the microwave oven.
• When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due to
the possibility of ignition.
• The glass window has been specially
treated to make it stronger, more durable
and safer than ordinary glass, however it
is not unbreakable. If dropped or struck
extremely hard, it may break or weaken,
and could at a later time shatter into many
small pieces without apparent cause.
