IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Cooking Safety
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe
the following:
▯
Do not leave oven unattended while in use.
▯
Do not store flammable material next to or in the
oven.
▯
When flaming foods under the microwave, always
turn the fan on.
▯
Do not operate the oven while empty. This could
damage the oven and result in a risk of fire.
▯
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables or nonfood products in or near this
appliance. It is specifically designed for use when
heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive
chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the
appliance and could result in injury.
▯
Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other
materials in the oven. Do not use newspapers or
paper bags for cooking. Fire could result.
▯
Do not use recycled paper products unless
labeled safe for microwave use. They may
contain impurities which may cause sparks and
result in fires when used.
▯
Always use potholders when removing items from
the oven. The cooking container and the glass
tray can be hot even if the oven is cool.
▯
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not
reach through fire to turn it off.
▯
Do not mount over sink.
▯
Do not store anything directly on top of the
appliance surface when the appliance is in
operation.
▯
Oversized food or oversized metal utensils
should not be inserted in a microwave oven as
they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
▯
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
can break off the pad and touch electrical parts
involving a risk of electric shock.
▯
Do not store any materials, other than
manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in
this oven when not in use.
▯
Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven
with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the
oven.
▯
Do not use paper products when appliance is
operated in the toaster mode.
In Case of Fire
If materials inside an oven should ignite:
1. Keep door closed
2. Turn appliance off
3. Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit
breaker
Liquids
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be
overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to boil. For example, 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in
the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
CAUTION
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1 inch
(25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside
of the door.
▯
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat
up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable
ovenware. The different components of the meal may
not require the same amount of time to heat up.
▯
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable
cover for your container, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
▯
Stir or turn the food several times during cooking.
Check the temperature.
▯
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
▯
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the oven.
