IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Microwave Oven)
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
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 high
performance from this oven:
1 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.
1 2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could
damage the oven.
1 3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of
storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware,
etc.
1 4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray
in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the
rotating base.
1 5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to
cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.
1 6. Do not put foreign material between the oven
surface and door. It could result in excessive
leakage of microwave energy.
1 7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking.
They may contain impurities which could cause
sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.
1 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.
1 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, keep an eye on the oven due to the
possibility of ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food
jars shall be stirred or shaken and the
temperature 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
should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode, even after microwave heating
has ended;
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. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to
be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of
the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the microwave oven
is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT
IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL
IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it
c) Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
d) After heating, allow the container to stand in
the microwave oven for a short time before
removing the container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.
