SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GENERAL USE

Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure
top performance from this oven:

1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying

clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.

2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.

3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware,

etc.

4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on

the rotating base.

5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you cook food sealed in

bottles.

6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door. It could result in

excessive leakage of microwave energy.

7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may contain impurities which

could cause sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.

8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn popper or unless

it's commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens.
Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be
a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.

9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken

livers, etc., without first piercing them several times with a fork.

10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's directions. (popping time is

generally below 3 minutes).
Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, it can cause scorchings and fire.
Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or may break.

11. Should the microwave oven emit smoke in quantity to indicate a fire, keep the oven

door shut, switch the appliance off and disconnect the mains lead from the outlet.

12. When flammable food containers are used in the oven (e.g. packet popcorn) be sure to

check the cooking process periodically in case fire has occured.

13. Always stir and/or shake the containers of baby foods prior to testing their temperature

and serving the contents.

14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has been heated in a microwave

oven before you give it to somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This is
important because things which have been heated in a microwave oven carry on getting
hotter even though the microwave oven cooking has stopped.
