Precautions to be taken when using
Microwave Ovens for Heating
foodstuffs

INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE. A microwave oven
should only be used if an inspection confirms all of 
the following conditions:
1. The door fits squarely and securely and opens and

closes smoothly.

2. The door hinges are in good condition.
3. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are

neither buckled nor deformed.

4. The door seals are neither covered with food nor

have large burn marks.

PRECAUTIONS. Microwave radiation from 
microwave ovens can cause harmful effects if the 
following precautions are not taken:
1. Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking

devices on the door.

2. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object,

through a grille or between the door and the oven
while the oven is operating.

3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other

heavy metal objects in the oven.

4. Do not let other metallic articles, e.g., fast food foil

containers, touch the side of the oven.

5. Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with

water and a mild detergent at regular intervals. Never
use any form of abrasive cleaner that may scratch or
scour surfaces around the door.

6. Always use the oven with trays or cookware

recommended by the manufacturer.

7. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e., an

absorbing material such as food or water) in the oven
cavity unless specifically allowed in the
manufacturer’s literature.

8. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy

objects such as food containers on the door while it
is open.

9. Do not place sealed containers in microwave ovens.

Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat are
considered to be sealed containers.

10. The appliance is not intended for use by young

children or infirm persons without supervision. 

11. Young children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

Important Instructions

WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the microwave

oven.

2. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed

containers - (for example, closed glass jars and
sealed baby bottles with teat
) - may explode and
should not be heated in the microwave oven.

3. Use this microwave oven only for its intended use as

described in this manual.

4. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary

when used by children.

5. Do not operate this microwave oven if it is not working

properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

6. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: 

(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the oven
to facilitate cooking. 

(b) Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing

bag in oven. 

(c) If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep

oven door closed, turn oven off at the wall switch,
or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.

Earthing Instructions

This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This microwave oven is equipped with
a cord having an earthing wire with an earthing plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and earthed.
WARNING—Improper use of the earthing plug
can result in a risk of electric shock.

WE CERTIFY THAT THIS MICROWAVE OVEN HAS
BEEN INSPECTED AND COMPLIES WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATION 3,
SUBCLAUSE(2), OF THE MICROWAVE OVENS
REGULATIONS 1982.
MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO.,LTD.

(This statement applicable only to New Zealand.)

We certify that this microwave oven has been
inspected and complies with the safety requirements
of government notice 466 of March 1981, and
complies with the Radio Regulation of government
notice 587 of March 1986.

(This statement applicable only to South Africa)

WARNING

a) The door seals and door seal areas should be

cleaned with a damp cloth. The appliance should be
inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal
areas and if these areas are damaged the appliance
should not be operated until it has been repaired by a
qualified service technician trained by the
manufacturer.

b) It is dangerous for anyone other than a qualified

service technician trained by the manufacturer to
perform repair services.

c) If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it

must be replaced by a qualified service technician
with the special cord available only from the
manufacturer.

d) Before use, the user should check that utensils are

suitable for use in microwave ovens.

e) Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed

containers since they are liable to explode.

f) Only allow children to use the oven without

supervision when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe
way and understands the hazards of improper use.
