Safety and Instruction Manual
•
Do not operate the microwave when
empty. It is best to leave a glass of
water in the microwave when not in
use. The water will safely absorb all
microwave energy if the microwave is
accidentally started.
•
Improper use could result in
damage to the microwave.
•
Do not use wooden containers and
ceramic containers that have metallic
(e.g. gold or silver) inlays. Always
remove metal twist ties. Check that
the utensils are suitable for use in the
microwave before use. They may
heat up and char. Metal objects in
particular may arc in the microwave,
which can cause serious damage.
•
Do not rinse the turntable by placing it
in water just after cooking. This may
cause breakage or damage.
•
Before cooking pierce the skin of
potatoes, apples or any such fruit
or vegetables. They could burst.
•
Do not cook eggs in their shell. Eggs in
their shell and whole hard -boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave since
they may explode, even after microwave
heating has ended. Pressure will build
up inside the egg which will burst.
•
Do not attempt deep fat frying in
your microwave. This could result in
a sudden boil over of hot liquid.

If smoke is observed, switch off or
disconnect the microwave from the
power supply and keep the microwave
door closed in order to stifle any
flames. It can cause serious damage
such as fire or electric shock.

disposable containers made of
plastic, paper or other combustible
materials keep an eye on the
microwave and check it frequently.

regularly and any food deposits should
be removed. Failure to maintain the
