Safety Instructions and Precautions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY
Always use pot holders to prevent burns when
•
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the
•
face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a
dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and oven
cooking bags away from the face.
Stay near the microwave oven while it is in use and
•
check cooking progress frequently so that there is
no chance of overcooking food.
Never use the oven cavity for storing cookbooks or
•
other items.
Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
•
its high quality and minimize the spread of food-
borne bacteria.
Keep the waveguide cover clean. Food residue can
•
cause arcing and fires. Refer to page 24.
Use care when removing items from the oven so that
•
the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch
the safety door latches.
Keep aluminum foil, used for shielding, at least 1"
•
away from any interior surface of the microwave
(25)
oven. Refer to page 23.
Always have food in the microwave oven when it is
•
on to absorb the microwave energy.
If the oven light fails, consult Wolf factory certified
•
service.

Do not put fingers or clothes around the drawer
•
guides when the appliance is opened or closed.
They could be caught in the guides when the appli-
ance is closed.
Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to
•
prevent boilovers.
Be sure that the food and container are shorter than
•
the drawer before closing it. You can refer to the
height of the side walls of the drawer.
When using the microwave oven at power levels
•
below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling
on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the oven to
be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave
•
cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food
will influence the amount of moisture that condenses
in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause
as much condensation as uncovered ones.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It
•
should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your microwave oven is rated 950 watts by using the
•
IEC test procedure. In using recipes or package
directions, check food a minute or two before the
minimum time and add time accordingly.
When opening or closing the drawer microwave
•
quickly, food in the drawer microwave may be
spilled. To clean, refer to cleaning and care on
page 24.
