WARNING — To reduce the risk of burns, electric
shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave
energy:
1. Read all instructions before using microwave
oven.
2. Use this microwave oven only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
3. Do not operate this microwave oven, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been damaged or
dropped.
4. Do not use outdoors.
5. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
6. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
7. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter.
8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
b) Remove wire twist-ties from bags before
placing bag in oven.
c) If materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn oven off at the
wall switch, or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
General Use
1. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate
the oven when empty. The microwave energy
will reflect continuously throughout the oven if
no food or water is present to absorb energy.
2. If smoke is observed, press the STOP/RESET
Pad and leave door closed. Disconnect the
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
3. Look at the oven from time to time when food is
heated or cooked in disposal containers of
plastic, paper or other combustible materials.
4. Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other
materials in oven. They may catch on fire.
5. Do not use recycled paper products unless the
paper product is labelled as safe for microwave
oven use. Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires
when used.
6. Do not hit or strike control panel. Damage to
controls may occur.
7. POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from
food is transferred to the cooking container.
8. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top
of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
9.
Do NOT
use this oven to heat chemicals or
other non-food products.
Do NOT
clean this
oven with any product that is labelled as
containing corrosive chemicals.
The heating of
corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause
microwave
radiation leaks.
10. This microwave oven requires free airflow in the
back for maximum cooling efficiency. You should
keep the air vents clear while cooking.
11. The appliance should not be cleaned with a
water jet.
Food
1. Do not use your oven for home canning or the
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up
and the jar may explode. In addition, the
microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the
correct canning temperature. Improperly canned
food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
2. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave
oven.
3. 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.
4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash and
sausages are examples of foods with nonporous
skins. This type of food must be pierced before
cooking, to prevent bursting.
5. When heating liquids, e.g. soup, 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 the hot liquid. To prevent this
possibility the following steps should be taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in
the oven and again halfway through cooking
time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a
short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
6.
DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT
THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
To check the degree of cooking of roasts and
poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER.
Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer
may be used after the food is removed from the
oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to
the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the
recommended power level. It is important to
ensure that meat and poultry are thoroughly
cooked.
7. Extreme care should be taken when cooking
popcorn in a microwave oven. Cook for
minimum time as recommended by
manufacturer. Use the directions suitable for the
wattage of your microwave oven. NEVER leave
oven unattached when popping popcorn.
