Important Safety Instructions

12.  DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food 

products. DO NOT clean this oven with any product that is labelled 

as containing corrosive chemicals. The heating of corrosive 

chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.

13. Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any closed 

jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the 

microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the correct canning 

temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous 

to consume.

14. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.

15. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash and sausages are 

examples of foods with nonporous skins. This type of food must be 

pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.

16.  DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE 

MICROWAVE OVEN. To check the degree of cooking of roasts and 

poultry, use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER. Alternatively, a 

conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is 

removed from the oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to 

the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended 

power level. It is important to ensure that meat and poultry are 

thoroughly cooked.

17. Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn in a 

microwave oven. Cook for minimum time as recommended by 

manufacturer. Use the directions suitable for the wattage of your 

microwave oven. NEVER leave oven unattended when popping 

popcorn.

18. When reheating baby bottles always remove the top and teat. Liquid 

at the top of the bottle will be much hotter than at the bottom and 

must be shaken thoroughly before checking the temperature. 

19. The door seals and door seal areas should be cleaned with a damp 

cloth.
