IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following basic precautions should always be followed when using this
electrical appliance:
• Carefully read all instructions before operating and save for future
reference.
• This appliance is for normal domestic use only.
• Make sure the voltage in the intended location corresponds to the one
shown on the rating label of the appliance.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the microwave cavity ensure the following:
- Do not cook the food for longer than recommended.
- Remove wire twist-ties before placing bags in the microwave.
- Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying as the temperature of the oil
cannot be controlled.
- After use wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed by
a dry cloth to remove any food splashes and grease. Built-up grease
may overheat and begin to cause smoke or catch fire.
- If materials inside the microwave should smoke or ignite, keep the
microwave door closed, turn the microwave off at the wall socket
and disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
- When heating food in plastic containers, do not leave unattended
due to the possibility of ignition.
• To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling:
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode; baby bottles fitted
with a screw cap or teat are considered to be sealed containers.
- Use a wide-mouthed container to cook liquids and ensure the
cooked liquid is allowed to stand and is not removed immediately-
This is to avoid possible hazards such as explosion caused by delayed
boiling of liquids.
- Potatoes, sausages and chestnuts should be peeled or pierced before
cooking. Eggs in their shell should not be heated in microwaves since
they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
