• Do not operate the microwave when
empty. It is best to leave a glass of water
in the microwave when not in use. The
water will safely absorb all microwave
energy if the microwave is accidentally
started.
• Improper use could result in damage to
the microwave.
• Do not use wooden containers and
ceramic containers that have metallic
(e.g. gold or silver) inlays. Always remove
metal twist ties. Check that the utensils
are suitable for use in the microwave
before use. They may heat up and char.
Metal objects in particular may arc in the
microwave, which can cause serious
damage.
• Do not rinse the turntable by placing it in
water just after cooking. This may cause
breakage or damage.
• Before cooking pierce the skin of
potatoes, apples or any such fruit or
vegetables. They could burst.
• Do not cook eggs in their shell. Eggs in
their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave since
they may explode, even after microwave
heating has ended. Pressure will build up
inside the egg which will burst.
• Do not attempt deep fat frying in your
microwave. This could result in a sudden
boil over of hot liquid.
• If smoke is observed, switch off or
disconnect the microwave from the power
supply and keep the microwave door
closed in order to stifle any flames. It can
cause serious damage such as fire or
electric shock.
• When food is heated or cooked in
disposable containers made of plastic,
paper or other combustible materials
keep an eye on the microwave and check
it frequently.
• The microwave should be cleaned
regularly and any food deposits should
be removed. Failure to maintain the
microwave in a clean condition could lead
to deterioration of the surface. This could
adversely affect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous
situation.
• Follow exact directions given by each
manufacturer for their popcorn product.
Do not leave the oven unattended while
corn is being popped. If corn fails to pop
after the suggested times, discontinue
cooking. Never use a brown paper bag
for popping corn. Never attempt to pop
leftover kernels. Overcooking could result
in the corn catching fire.
• Do not use harsh abrasives cleaners
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the
microwave door glass. They can scratch
the surface, which may result in the glass
shattering.
• After cooking, the container is very hot.
Using gloves to take out the food and
avoid steam burns by directing steam
away from the face and hands.
