Food safety
• Do not heat food in a can in the microwave
oven. Always remove the food to a suitable
container.
• Deep fat frying should not be done in the
microwave oven, because the fat temperature
cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can
result.
• Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave
oven, but only in special packages or utensils
designed specifically for this purpose. This
cooking operation should never be unattended.
• Pierce foods with non-porous skins or
membranes to prevent steam build-up and
bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and
egg yolks are examples of items that should
be pierced.
WARNING: When heating liquids, e.g. soups,
sauces and beverages in your microwave oven,
overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can
occur without evidence of bubbling. This could
result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To
prevent this possibility the following steps should
be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in
the oven and again halfway through the heating
time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a
short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
• Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers – for example, closed glass
jars – may explode and should not be heated
in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may
explode during cooking. Always pierce the
yolk, then cover and allow the standing time of
one minute before removing cover.
Safety instructions when cooking by
Grill
1. The glass viewing window may break if water is
spilled on it during grilling.
2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and
unloading the oven. Containers get very hot in the
oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turn-
table and metal rack also get very hot so be sure to
use an oven glove when handling them.
3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window
with metal components when loading or unloading
the oven. The inside of the door and oven get very
hot so take care when attending food in the oven.
4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold
water or try to cool them quickly after use.
5. Do not place items on top of the cabinet. The top
of the cabinet gets very hot, so anything placed on
it may be damaged by the heat. It is quite normal
for steam to be emitted around the door, or for
misting to occur on the door, or even around the
door, or even for water droplets to appear below
the door during the cooking cycle. This is merely
condensation from the heat of the food and does
not affect the safety of your oven. The door is not
intended to seal the oven cavity completely.
• Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand.
This may cause malfunctioning.
• Arcing in the oven during microwave operation
usually occurs from use of metallic utensils.
Continuous arcing, however, can damage the unit.
Stop the programme and check the utensil.
• Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents
located on the top, rear, side and bottom of the
oven.
