Safety Precautions
Read carefully and keep for future reference.
Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check that the following safety
precautions are taken.
GB
IMPORTANT
Young children should
NEVER
be allowed to use or play with the microwave oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave
oven when it is in use. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the oven.
GB
This is normal
●
Condensation inside the oven and display
●
Air flow around the door and outer casing
●
Light reflection around the door and outer casing
●
Steam escaping from around the door or vents
The oven causes interference with radios or televisions
●
Slight interference may be observed on televisions or radios when the oven is operating. This is normal. To solve this problem, install the
oven away from televisions, radios and aerials.
●
If interference is detected by the oven’s microprocessor, the display may be reset. To solve this problem, disconnect the power plug and
reconnect it.
1. DO NOT
use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:
●
Metallic containers
●
Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings
●
Skewers, forks, etc.
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.
2. DO NOT
heat:
●
Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers.
●
Airtight food.
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.
3.
Take particular care when heating
liquids and baby foods.
●
ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.
●
Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.
●
Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn yourself if the container is too hot.
●
To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during
and after heating.
Reason: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is
removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.
●
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
* Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
* Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
* Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.
●
NEVER
fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling
over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.
●
ALWAYS
check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to the baby.
●
NEVER
heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.
4. DO NOT
operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
Reason: The oven walls may be damaged.
Tip: Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times. The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the oven going when
it is empty.
5. DO NOT
cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.
Reason: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the oven.
6. ALWAYS
use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.
Reason: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred from the food to the dish. The dishes are therefore hot.
7. DO NOT
touch heating elements or interior oven walls.
Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has finished, even though they do not appear to be so. Do not allow
inflammable materials to come into contact with any interior area of the oven. Let the oven cool down first.
8.
To avoid the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
●
Do not store flammable materials in the oven
●
Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags
●
Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers
