IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not allow grease or dirt to build

up on the door seals and adjacent

parts.  Follow  the  instructions  for

“Care  &  Cleaning”.  Failure  to

maintain  the  oven  in  a  clean

condition  could  lead  to  a

deterioration  of  the  surface  that

could adversely affect the life of the

appliance and possibly result in a

hazardous situation.

Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their doctor

or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for precautions regarding

microwave ovens.

To avoid the possibility of electric shock

Under no circumstances should you remove the outer cabinet.

Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock openings or

ventilation openings. In the event of a spill, turn off and unplug the

oven immediately and call your local Service Force Centre.

Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in water or any

other liquid.

Do not allow the power supply cord to run over any hot or sharp

surfaces, such as the hot air vent area at the top rear of the oven. 

Do not attempt to replace the oven

lamp yourself or allow anyone who

is not authorised by Service Force to

do so. If the oven lamp fails, please

consult your dealer or contact your

local Service Force Centre.

If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must

be replaced with a special cord. The exchange must be made

by an authorised Service Force technician.

To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling

Warning: Liquids and other foods must

not  be  heated  in  sealed  containers

since they are liable to explode.

Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before

use.  Sealed  containers  can  explode  due  to  a  build  up  of

pressure even after the oven has been turned off.

Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-mouthed

container to allow bubbles to escape.

Microwave heating of beverages can

result in delayed eruptive boiling,

therefore care has to be taken when

handling the container.

To  prevent  sudden  eruption  of  boiling  liquid  and  possible

scalding:
1.   Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2.   It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil into

the liquid whilst reheating.

3.   Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at the

end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling. 

Do not cook eggs in their shells, and

whole hard boiled eggs should not

be heated in microwave ovens since

they  may  explode  even  after

microwave cooking has ended. To

cook or reheat eggs which have not

been scrambled or mixed, pierce the

yolks and the whites, or the eggs

may explode.  Shell and slice hard

boiled eggs before reheating them in

the microwave oven.

Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit

before cooking, or they may explode.

To avoid the possibility of burns

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the

oven to prevent burns.

Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags,

etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns.

To  avoid  burns,  always  test  food

temperature and stir before serving

and  pay  special  attention  to  the

temperature of food and drink given

to babies, children or the elderly.
