Safety Instructions
Precautions to be taken when
using Microwave Ovens for Heating
foodstuffs
INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE.
A microwave oven
should only be used if an inspection confirms all of
the following conditions:
1. The grille is not damaged or broken.
2. The door fits squarely and securely and opens
and closes smoothly.
3. The door hinges are in good condition.
4. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door
are neither buckled nor deformed.
5. The door seals are neither covered with food
nor have large burn marks.
PRECAUTIONS.
Microwave radiation from
microwave ovens can cause harmful effects if the
following precautions are not taken:
1. Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking
devices on the door.
2. Never poke an object, particularly a metal
object, through a grille or between the door and
the oven while the oven is operating.
3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or
other heavy metal objects in the oven.
4. Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food
foil containers, touch the side of the oven.
5. Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals
with water and a mild detergent at regular
intervals. Never use any form of abrasive
cleaner that may scratch or scour surfaces
around the door.
6. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e. an
absorbing material such as food or water) in the
oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the
manufacturer’s literature.
7. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy
objects such as food containers on the door
while it is open.
8. The appliance is not to be used by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Earthing Instructions
This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current.
This microwave oven is equipped with a cord
having an earthing wire with an earthing plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and earthed.
WARNING — Improper use of the earthing plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
WARNING — 15 A OUTLET TO BE USED ONLY.
DO NOT REMOVE APPROVED 15 AMP PLUG.
Voltage and Power Warning
The voltage used must be the same as specified
on the microwave oven. Using a higher voltage
than that which is specified is dangerous, and may
result in a fire or other type of accident causing
damage.
Placement of Oven
Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface and
can be stacked as required.
For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient
air flow to the air vents i.e. 5 cm (2 inches) at the
side and rear, 20 cm (8 inches) for top.
Removal of Protective Film
A protective film is used to prevent scratching of
the outer case during transportation. Peel this film
off before installation or use.
Attach Caution Label
If a caution label is enclosed with your oven,
please attach it to the top of the appliance before
using.
WARNING
a) The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas and if these areas
are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a qualified service
technician trained by the manufacturer.
b) It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that
involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
c) If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the special cord available only
from the manufacturer.
d) Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
e) Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. Baby
bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat are considered to be sealed containers.
f) The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
