CARAVAN EQUIPMENT
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Please read carefully and keep for future
reference.
Oven Use:
- The oven is for domestic food use only.
- Never operate the oven when empty.
- Do not leave or store anything inside the
oven when not in use.
- Never attempt to use the oven with the
door open. It is important not to force or
tamper with the door safety
latches.
- Never operate the oven with any object
caught in the door.
- Do not insert fingers or objects in the
holes of the door latches or air-vent
openings as this may damage the oven
and cause an electric shock.
- If water or food drops inside the air vent
openings switch off the oven immediately,
unplug it and call an approved service
facility.
HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are energy waves, similar to
those used for TV and radio signals.
Electrical energy is converted into microwave
energy, which is directed into the oven cavity
via a waveguide. To prevent food and grease
entering the waveguide it is protected by the
waveguide cover.
Microwaves cannot pass through metal,
because of this the oven cavity is made of
metal and there is a fine metal mesh on the
door. During cooking the microwaves bounce
off the sides of the oven cavity at random.
Microwaves will pass through certain
materials, such as glass and plastic, to heat
the food.
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb
microwaves which cause them to vibrate.
This creates heat by friction, in the same
way your hands get warm when you rub
them together.
Once cooking is complete the oven
automatically stops producing microwaves.
Standing time is necessary after cooking, as
it enables the heat to disperse equally
throughout the food.
SMOKE ALARM
The smoke alarm fitted to your caravan is
approved for use in caravans and motor
homes. The National Caravan Council (NCC)
requires that all new or used touring caravans
sold by its members be fitted with a smoke
alarm featuring an alarm silence facility.
WARNING: Never allow children to
use the oven without adult
supervision.
FIRE: If smoke is observed, switch off
and unplug the appliance and keep the
door closed in order to stifle any
flames.
WARNING: Liquids and other foods
must not be heated in sealed
containers since they are liable to
explode. Microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, therefore care has to
be taken when handling the container.
Stir the liquid prior to and during
heating/reheating, let liquid stand for
at least 20 seconds in the oven after
cooking.
NOTE: Microwaves are not designed
to run continuously for over 20 minutes.
