• For small amounts (one sausage, a single croissant,
etc.), place a glass of water alongside the food
item.
• Time settings that are too long may dry out and
burn the food. To avoid such incidents, never use
the same cooking times as for traditional ovens.
• Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.
Always remove the food to a suitable container.
• Deep fat frying should not be done in the microwa-
ve oven, because the fat temperature cannot be
controlled, hazardous situations can result.
• Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,
but only in special packages or utensils designed
specifically for this purpose. This cooking opera-
tion should never be unattended.
• Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes
to prevent steam build-up and bursting. Apples,
potatoes, and chicken livers are examples of items
that should be pierced.
• Do not heat or cook boiled, coddled or fried eggs.
They can burst and cause serious burns or damage
to your oven.
• When warming :
- baby bottles, be sure to remove the nipple, shake
the liquid and test the temperature on the back of
your hand before feeding.
- children’s foods, it is essential to stir and check
the temperature before serving to avoid serious
internal burns.
WARNING:
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, 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:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the
oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for 20
seconds, stirring again before carefully removing
the container.
NOTE:
• Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This
may cause malfunctioning.
• Arcing in the oven during microwave operation
usually occurs from use of metallic utensils.
Continuous arcing, however, can damage the unit.
Stop the programme and check the utensil.
Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.
This oven is made for domestic use only.
NOTE: It is quite normal for steam to be emitted
around the door, or for misting to occur on the door,
or even for water droplets to appear below the door
during the cooking cycle. This is merely condensa-
tion from the heat of the food and does not affect the
safety of your oven. The door is not intended to seal
the oven cavity completely.
