23
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.
