13. A short cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
14. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. Ensure that the
cord is not in a position where it can be pulled on inadvertently.
15. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces and do not place on or near a hot
gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
16. Do not use the appliance on a gas or electric cooking top or over or near an
open flame.
17. Use of an extension cord with this appliance is not recommended. However, if
it is necessary to use an extension lead, ensure that the lead is suited to the
power consumption of the appliance to avoid overheating of the extension cord,
appliance or plug point. Do not place the extension cord in a position where it
can be pulled on by children or animals or tripped over.
18. This appliance is not suitable for outdoor use. Do not use this appliance for
anything other than its intended use.
19. DO NOT carry the appliance by the power cord.
20. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use. Always unplug the unit
when not in use or before cleaning.
21. Always operate the appliance on a smooth, even, stable surface. Do not place
the unit on a hot surface.
22. The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for any damage or injury
caused by improper or incorrect use, or for repairs carried out by unauthorised
personnel.
23. In case of technical problems, switch off the machine and do not attempt to
repair it yourself. Return the appliance to an authorised service facility for
examination, adjustment or repair. Always insist on the use of original spare
parts. Failure to comply with the above mentioned pre-cautions and instructions,
could affect the safe operation of this machine.
24. Do not operate the microwave with the door open.
Do not tamper with
safety interlocks. Do not place anything between the oven front and the door,
and do not allow this space to become soiled. If the door seals are damaged in
any way, do not use the microwave. Take the unit directly to your nearest
service agent.
25. Ensure the microwave is cleaned regularly and that all food deposits are
removed.
26. Do not place any metal objects in the microwave. These will damage the
microwave and will deem the warranty void.
27. Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from any paper or plastic containers
before placing them in the microwave.
28. When using plastic, ceramic or glass containers in the microwave, ensure that
the containers are microwave safe. Some plastics are not microwave safe, and
will melt in the microwave. Glass or ceramic containers not suitable for
microwave use may crack.
29. Always beware when heating liquids in the microwave. Liquids may become
superheated and this results in eruptive boiling when the container is moved. It
is suggested that a wooden spoon or mixing stick be placed in the container to
prevent the eruptive boiling.
30. Always ensure that the glass tray is not restricted, and is placed on the
turntable ring assembly and turntable shaft correctly.
