CAUTION
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens; DO NOT use any metallic
containers, Dinnerware with gold or silver
trimmings, Skewers, forks, etc.
Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic
bags.
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may
occur and may damage the oven.
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due to
the possibility of ignition;
Do not use your microwave oven to dry
papers or clothes.
Use shorter times for smaller amounts of
food to prevent overheating and burning
food.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug
the appliance and keep the door closed in
order to stifle any flames;
The oven should be cleaned regularly and
any food deposits removed;
Do not immerse the power cable or power
plug in water and keep the power cable
away from heat.
Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled
eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode, even after
microwave heating has ended; Also do not
heat airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars,
containers, nuts inshells, tomatoes etc.
Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth
or paper. They may catch fire as hot air
escapes from the oven. The oven may also
overheat and switch itself off automatically,
and will remain off until it cools sufficiently.
Always use oven mitts when removing a dish
from the oven to avoid unintentional burns.
Do not touch heating elements or interior
oven walls until the oven has cooled down.
Stir liquids halfway during heating or after
heating ends and allow the liquid stand at
least 20 seconds after heating to prevent
eruptive boiling.
Stand at arms length from the oven when
opening the door to avoid getting scalded by
escaping hot air or steam.
Do not operate the microwave oven when it is
empty. The microwave oven will automatically
shut down for 30 minutes for safety purposes. We
recommend placing a glass of water inside the
oven at all times to absorb microwave energy in
case the microwave oven is started accidentally.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since
they can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.
Install the oven in compliance with the clearances
stated in this manual (see Installing Your
Microwave Oven)
Take care when connecting other electrical
appliances to sockets near the oven.
