IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high 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. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the
appliance and keep the door closed in order to
stifle any flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
check the oven frequently due to the possibility of
ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is
to be checked before consumption, in order to
avoid burns.
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.
15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
shall not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode.
16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after
each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in
the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch
fire when next using the oven.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot
control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire.
18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handling the container.
