IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as over cooking may result in FIRE and
subsequent DAMAGE to the OVEN.
Read carefully and keep for future reference
1 Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any
adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel,
safety interlock switches or any other part of the
oven. It is hazardous for anyone to carry out any
service or repair operation which involves the
removal of any cover which gives protection
against exposure to microwave energy. Repairs
should only be undertaken by a qualified service
technician.
2 Do not operate the oven when empty. It is best to
leave a glass of water in the oven when not in
use. The water will safely absorb all microwave
energy, if the oven is accidentally started.
3 Do not dry clothes in the microwave oven, which
may become carbonized or burned if heated too
long.
4 Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels,
unless your cook book contains instructions, for
the food you are cooking.
5 Do not use newspaper in place of paper towels
for cooking.
6 Do not use wooden containers. They may heat-
up and char. Do not use ceramic containers
which have metallic (e.g. gold or silver) inlays.
Always remove metal twist ties. Metal objects in
the oven may arc, which can cause serious
damage.
7 Do not operate the oven with a kitchen towel, a
napkin or any other obstruction between the door
and the front edges of the oven, which may
cause microwave energy leakage.
8 Do not use recycled paper products since they
may contain impurities which may cause sparks
and/or fires when used in cooking.
9 Do not rinse the turntable by placing it in water
just after cooking. This may cause breakage or
damage.
10 Small amounts of food require shorter cooking
or heating time. If normal times are allowed they
may overheat and burn.
11 Be certain to place the oven so the front of the
door is 8 cm or more behind the edge of the
surface on which it is placed, to avoid accidental
tipping of the appliance.
12 Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes,
apples or any such fruit or vegetable.
13 Do not cook eggs in their shell. Pressure will
build up inside the egg which will burst.
14 Do not attempt deep fat frying in your oven.
15 Remove the plastic wrapping from food before
cooking or defrosting. Note though that in some
cases food should be covered with plastic film,
for heating or cooking.
16 If the oven door or door seals are damaged, the
oven must not be operated until it has been
repaired by a qualified service technician.
17 If smoke is observed, switch off or disconnect
the oven from the power supply and keep the
oven door closed in order to stifle any flames.
18 When food is heated or cooked in disposable
containers of plastic, paper or other combustible
materials, check the oven frequently due to the
possibility of ignition.
19 Only allow children to use the oven without
supervision when adequate instructions have
been given so that the child is able to use the
oven in a safe way and understands the hazards
of improper use.
20 Liquids or other foods must not be heated in
sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
21 Do not operate the oven, if the door seals and
adjacent parts of the microwave oven are faulty,
until the oven has been repaired by a qualified
service technician.
22 Check the utensils are suitable for use in
microwave ovens before use.
23 Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear
cabinet, oven cavity, accessories and dishes
during grill mode, convection mode and auto
cook operations, unless wearing thick oven
gloves, as they will become hot. Before clearing
make sure they are not hot.
