2

0

WARNING

Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as over cooking may result in FIRE and

subsequent DAMAGE to the OVEN.

1  Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any

adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel,

safety interlock switches or any other part of the

oven. Repairs should only be undertaken by a

qualified service technician.

2  Do not operate the oven when empty. It is best to

leave a glass of water in the oven when not in

use. The water will safety absorb all microwave

energy, if the oven is accidentally started.

3  Do not use the oven for the purpose of

dehumidification. It can be the cause of serious

damage of safety. (ex. Operating the microwave

oven with the wet newspapers, clothes, toys, pet

or portable electric devices, etc.)

4  Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels,

unless your cook book contains instructions, for

the food you are cooking.

5  Do not use newspaper in place of paper towels

for cooking.

6  Do not use wooden containers. They may heat-

up and char. Do not use ceramic containers

which have metallic (e.g. gold or silver) inlays.

Always remove metal twist ties. Metal objects in

the oven may arc, which can cause serious

damage.

7  Do not operate the oven with a kitchen towel, a

napkin or any other obstruction between the door

and the front edges of the oven, which may

cause microwave energy leakage.

8  Do not use recycled paper products since they

may contain impurities which may cause sparks

and/or fires when used in cooking.

9  Do not rinse the turntable by placing it in water

just after cooking. This may cause breakage or

damage.

10  Small amounts of food require shorter cooking

or heating time. If normal times are allowed they

may overheat and burn.

11  Be certain to place the oven so the front of the

door is 8 cm or more behind the edge of the

surface on which it is placed, to avoid accidental

tipping of the appliance.

12  Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes,

apples or any such fruit or vegetable.

13  Do not cook eggs in their shell. Pressure will

build up inside the egg which will burst.

14  Do not attempt deep fat frying in your oven.

15  Remove the plastic wrapping from food before

cooking or defrosting. Note though that in some

cases food should be covered with plastic film,

for heating or cooking.

16  If the oven door is damaged, the oven must not

be operated until it has been repaired by a

qualified service technician.

17  If smoke is observed, keep the oven door

closed and  switch off or disconnect the oven

from the power supply.

18  When food is heated or cooked in disposable

containers of plastic, paper or other combustible

materials look at the oven frequently to check if

the food container is deteriorating.

19 The appliance is not intended for use by young 

children or infirm persons without supervision;

Young Children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with appliance.

20 Liquids or other foods must not be heated in

sealed containers since they are liable to

explode.

21 If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension 

     set or an electrical portable outlet device,the cord

     extension set on electrical portable outlet device 

     must be positioned so that it is not subject to 

     splashing or ingress of moisture.
