• If you use materials like paper, wood or plastic for cooking in your
microwave, do not leave the oven unattended. Paper, wood and
similar materials may ignite, while plastic materials may melt. Do not
use containers made of such materials for fan oven, grilling and
mixed cooking operations.
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order
to avoid burns.
• Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
• 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.
• Do not use your oven to heat carbonated drinks or foods stored in
airtight containers like tin cans. This will cause pressure to build up
inside the oven that may result in damage or explosion when the
door is opened.
• Do not use your microwave oven for cooking or reheating unwhisked
eggs, whether shelled or not. Ensure that you pierce the skins of potatoes,
apples, chestnut or similar fruits and vegetables before cooking.
• Do not use porcelain containing metal (silver, gold, etc.). Ensure that
you remove all metal twist-ties from food packages. Pieces of metal
inside the oven can cause arcing that may result in serious damage.
• Do not use your oven for frying with oil since you will be unable to
regulate the temperature of the oil.
Do not use the microwave to warm cooking oil or drinks with high
alcohol volume only.
• Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are
generated, or near combustible materials.
• Do not use the interior of your oven for storage purposes.
• Should the contents of the oven catch fire or should you notice any
smoke, keep the oven door closed. Switch off the oven and remove
the wire from the socket, or else remove or switch off the fuses for
your home.
• Do not lean on the oven door when it is open, or let children swing
on it. This will warp the oven door and prevent it from closing properly.
• Put a metal teaspoon or glass rod in the container when heating
up liquids.
This will prevent delay of boiling of the liquid, thus prevent sudden
overflowing when the container is moved.
• Do not use the oven, if:
– the door is not closed properly;
– the door hinges are damaged;
– the contact surfaces between the door
and the front side of the oven are damaged;
– the door window is damaged;
– an electrical arc occurs within the oven although there are
no metal objects in the cooking segment.
• It is very important not to select long durations or extremely high
power levels while cooking a small amount of food in order to avoid
overheating or burning the meal. For example, a slice of bread may
burn after 3 minutes if a very high power level is selected.
• Do not use the oven for frying as it is not possible to control the
temperature of oil heated in microwave.
• Contact surfaces of the door (front side of the inner segment
and inner side of the doors), must be kept clean to ensure proper
operation of the oven.
