Cautions - John Lewis JLMWGR005 User Manual

Cautions

• Do not operate the microwave with the door open
due to the safety interlocks built into the door
mechanism. It is important not to tamper with the
safety interlocks. It could result in harmful exposure
to excessive microwave energy. (Safety interlocks
automatically switch off any cooking activity when
the door is opened.)
• Do not place any object (such as kitchen towels,
napkins, etc.) between the microwave front face
and the door or allow food or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.It could result in
harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.
• Do not operate the microwave if it is damaged. It
is particularly important that the microwave door
closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
- (1) door (bent),
- (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
- (3) door seals and sealing surfaces. It could result
in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.
• Please ensure cooking times are correctly set, small
amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating
time. Over cooking may result in the food catching
on fi re and subsequent damage to the microwave.
• When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and
beverages in your microwave oven:
- Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow
necks.
- Stir the liquid before placing the container in the
microwave and again halfway through the heating
time.
- After heating, let it stand in the microwave for a
short time; stir or shake it again carefully and check
the temperature of it before consuming to avoid
burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars).
Microwave oven and grill
• Be careful when handling the container. Microwave
heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling without evidence of bubbling. This could
result in hot liquids suddenly boiling over.
• An exhaust outlet is located on the top, bottom
or side of the microwave. Don't block the outlet. It
could result in damage to your microwave and poor
cooking results.
• Do not operate the microwave when empty. It
is best to leave a glass of water in the microwave
when not in use. The water will safely absorb all
microwave energy, if the microwave is accidentally
started.
• Do not use wooden containers and ceramic
containers that have metallic (e.g. gold or silver)
inlays. Always remove metal twist ties. Check that
the utensils are suitable for use in microwave before
use. They may heat-up and char. Metal objects in
particular may arc in the microwave, which can
cause serious damage.
• Do not rinse the tray and rack by placing it in water
just after cooking. This may cause breakage or
damage.
• Be certain to place the microwave so the front of
the door is 8 cm or more behind the edge of the
surface on which it is placed, to avoid accidental
tipping of the microwave. Improper use could result
in bodily injury and microwave damage.
• Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes, apples
or any such fruit or vegetables. They could burst.
• Do not cook eggs in their shell. Eggs in their shell
and whole hardboiled eggs should not be heated
in microwave since they may explode, even after
microwave heating has ended. Pressure will build up
inside the egg which will burst.
• Do not attempt deep fat frying in your microwave.
This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot
liquid.
