• If the door seals or any part of the Microwave
Oven are damaged, the Microwave Oven
must not be operated until it has been
inspected and/or repaired at an authorised
Kambrook Service Centre.
• Ensure all food containers and/or plates are
suitable for use in the Microwave Oven. This
should be done prior to preparing food for
heating or cooking in the Microwave Oven.
Monitor foods and liquids heating or cooking
in the Microwave Oven at all times due to
the possibility of containers igniting.
• Containers or plates suitable for use in the
Microwave Oven should not exceed the
width of the glass turntable tray as this may
impede the rotation of the tray and result in
food being unevenly cooked.
• Food and/or liquids should not be heated or
cooked directly on the turntable tray. Food
and/or liquids must be placed into a suitable
microwave-proof container before placing
onto the turntable tray.
• Food and/or liquids should not be heated
or cooked in plastic or paper containers or
bags, unless specified as suitable for use by
the manufacturer, due to the possibility of
containers exploding or igniting. Metal clips
or twists should be removed from packaging
as these could cause sparking and/or fire.
• Do not use recycled paper or kitchen paper
towelling when cooking. Recycled paper
may contain small metal or other impurities
which could cause sparking and/or fire.
• Do not use metal containers or utensils in
the Microwave Oven as these could cause
sparking and/or fire.
• Food grade foil wrapping may be used in a
single layer to mask
1
⁄
3
portion of the food to
be cooked and should not extend pass the
edge of the glass turntable tray. Food grade
foil should not be used in layers or fully cover
the food as this could cause sparking and/or
fire. Food grade foil should not be used
to cover any part of the glass turntable tray.
• Ensure that lids and caps covering containers
are removed prior to placing liquids and/or
foods into the Microwave Oven since they
are liable to explode.
• Feeding bottles and baby food jars should
have the 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.
• Fresh 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 for shallow or deep
frying 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 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. Donot wrap the cord around
the Microwave Oven.
• Some containers and/or plates may appear
suitable for use in the Microwave Oven but
may be coated in a glaze that will absorb
the microwave energy, overheat and cause
the container to crack. The glaze may also
prevent the food from heating/cooking.
WARNING:
Liquids or
other foods must not
be heated in sealed
containers since they
are liable to explode.
