Foodstuffs
Inspection for Damage:
A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection
con
fi
rms all of the following conditions:
1. The
door
fi
ts squarely and securely and opens and
closes smoothly.
2. The door hinges are in good condition.
3. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are neither
buckled nor deformed.
4. 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 deactive 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.

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 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
electric shock.
Safety Instructions

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 service technician trained by the manufacturer.
(b) It is dangerous for anyone other than a service technician trained by the manufacturer to perform repair service.
(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 whether the 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, at the same time it
should avoid the boiling liquids splash.
(f) 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.
Important Instructions

fi
re,
injury to persons or excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using microwave oven.
2. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
