Placement of the Oven
This oven is intended for Counter-top use only. It is not
intended for built-in use or use inside a cupboard.
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface,
more than 85 cm above the floor. It shall not be
placed in a cabinet. For correct operation, the oven
must have sufficient air flow. Allow 15 cm of space
on the top of the oven, 10 cm at back and 5 cm
on both sides.
If one side of the oven is placed
flush to a wall, the other side or top must not
be blocked. Do not remove feet.

(a) Do not block air vents. If they are blocked
during operation, the oven may overheat. If
the oven overheats, a thermal safety device
will turn the oven off. The oven will remain
inoperable until it has cooled.
(b) Do not place oven near a hot or damp surface
such as a gas stove, electric range or sink etc.
(c) Do not operate oven when room humidity is too
high.
2. This oven was manufactured for household use
only.
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, chicken wings, 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 of 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.
(e) Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be
taken when handling the container.
(f) As a general rule, always cover wet foods,e.g.
soups, casseroles and plated meals.
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.
