Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check that the following safety
precautions are taken.
1
DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:
◆
Metallic containers
◆
Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings
◆
Skewers, forks, etc.
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.
2
DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
Reason: The oven walls may be damaged.
Tip:
Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times. The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally
set the oven going when it is empty.
3
DO NOT cover the rear ventilation ducts with cloths or paper.
Reason: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is expelled from the oven.
4
ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.
Reason: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred from the food to the dish.
The dishes are therefore hot.
5
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
◆
Do not store flammable materials in the oven
◆
Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags
◆
Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers
◆
If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or disconnect the oven from the power supply
6
Be careful not to damage the power cable.
◆
Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cable away from heated surfaces.
◆
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.
7
Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.
Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.
8
Keep the inside of the oven clean.
◆
Clean the inside of the oven after each use with a mild detergent solution, but let the microwave oven cool down
before cleaning in order to avoid injury.
Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or top can cause damage to the ceiling cover and
reduce the efficiency of the oven.
9
“Clicking” sound might be noticed while operating, especially at defrosting mode.
Reason: When the power output is changing electrically, you may hear this sound. This is normal.
10
When the microwave oven is operating without load, the thermistor probe sensor detects the abnormal high temperature
and the power will be cut off automatically for safety. After standing over 30 min, you can operate the oven normally.
