Important safety instructions
Read carefully and keep for future reference
• Do not operate the oven when empty. It is
best to leave a glass of water in the oven
when not in use. The water will safely
absorb all microwave energy if the oven
is accidentally started.
• Do not dry clothes in the microwave oven.
They may become carbonized or burned if
heated too long.
• Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels,
unless your cook book contains instructions for
the food you are cooking.
• Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels
or paper products. They may burn.
• Do not use wooden containers. They may
heat up and char.
• Do not use recycled paper products since
they may contain impurities which may
cause sparks and/or fires when used in
cooking.
• Allow the turntable to cool before cleaning.
• Small amounts of food require shorter
cooking or heating time. If normal times
are allowed they may overheat and burn.
• Before cooking, pierce the skin of fruit and
vegetables.
• Do not cook eggs in their shell.
Pressure will build up inside the egg
which will burst.
• Do not attempt deep fat frying in your
oven.
• Remove the plastic wrapping from food
before cooking or defrosting. Note
though that in some cases food should
be covered with plastic film, for heating
or cooking, as detailed in microwave
cook books.
• If smoke is observed, switch off or disconnect
the oven from the power supply and keep the
oven door closed in order to stifle any flames.
• When food is heated or cooked in disposable
containers of plastic, paper or other
combustible materials, check the oven
frequently due to the possibility of ignition.
- WARNING: Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they
are liable to explode.
- WARNING: 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.
- WARNING: If the oven door and door seal are damaged, the oven must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician.
- WARNING: Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to the
door, control panel, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven.
It is hazardous for anyone to carry out any service or repair operation
which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against
exposure to microwave energy. Repair should only be undertaken by a
qualified service technician.
