Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check that
the following safety precautions are taken.
1.
DO NOT
use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:
•
Metallic containers
•
Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings
•
Skewers, forks, etc.
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.
2.
DO NOT
heat:
•
Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers. Ex) Baby food jars
•
Airtight food. Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Tip:
Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.
3.
DO NOT
operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
Reason: The oven walls may be damaged.
Tip:
Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times. The water will
absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the oven going when it is
empty.
4.
DO NOT
cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.
Reason: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the
oven.
5.
ALWAYS
use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.
Reason: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred from
the food to the dish. The dishes are therefore hot.
6.
DO NOT
touch heating elements or interior oven walls.
Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn skin even after cooking is
finished, oven though they do not appear to be so. Keep away from hot
spot. Do not allow inflammable materials to come into contact with any
interior area of the oven. Let the oven cool down first.
7.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity
•
Do not store flammable materials in the oven
•
Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags
•
Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers
•
If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or disconnect
the oven from the power supply.
8.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.
•
ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been
switched off to allow the temperature to equalize.
•
Stir during heating if necessary and ALWAYS stir after heating.
•
To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should stir before,
during, and after heating.
•
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions :
*
Immerse hand in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
*
Cover with clean, dry dressing.
*
Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.
•
NEVER
fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the
top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with
narrow necks may also explode if overheated.
•
ALWAYS
check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to the
baby.
•
NEVER
heat a baby's bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if
overheated.
•
During microwave heating of beverages, there are results in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.
9.
Be careful not to damage the power cable.
•
Do not immerse power cable or plug in water and keep power cable away
from heated surfaces.
•
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.
10.
Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.
Reason:
The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.
11.
Keep the inside of the oven clean.
•
Clean the inside of the oven right after each use with a mild detergent solution,
but let the microwave oven cool down before cleaning in order to avoid injury.
Reason:
Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause
the damage of painting and reduce the efficiency of the oven.
12.
“Clicking” sound might be noticed while operating, especially in defrosting mode.
Reason:
When the power output is changing electrically, you may hear that
sound. This is normal.
