IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure
top performance from this oven:
1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food
preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any
other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the
oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such
as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place.
Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when
you cook food sealed in bottles.
6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and
door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave
energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They
may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or
fires when used during cooking.
8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave
approved popcorn popper or unless it’s commercially
packaged and recommended especially for microwave
ovens.
Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than
conventional popping; there will be a number of
unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the
manufacturer.
9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such
as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first
piercing them several times with a fork.
10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer’s
directions. (popping time is generally below 3 minutes).
Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, it can
cause scorchings and fire.
Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or
may break.
11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance
and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check
the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to
be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be
checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has
been heated in a microwave oven before you give it to
somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This
is important because things which have been heated in a
microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though the
microwave oven cooking has stopped.
15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs shall not
be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode.
16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the
oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you
leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may
overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the
oven.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control
the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating
and fire.
18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when
handling the container.
