Important Safety Instructions - LG MS-2344BS Owner's Manual

WARNING
Please ensure cooking times are correctly
set as over cooking may result in FIRE and
subsequent DAMAGE to the OVEN.
1 Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to the
door, control panel, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. It is
hazardous for anyone to carry out any service or repair operation which
involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy. Repairs should only be undertaken by a qualified service
technician.
2 Do not operate the oven when empty. It is best to leave a glass of water in the
oven when not in use. The water will safely absorb all microwave energy, if
the oven is accidentally started.
3 Do not use the oven for the purpose of dehumidification. It can be the cause of
serious damage of safety. (ex. Operating the microwave oven with the wet
newspapers, clothes, toys, pet or portable electric devices, etc.)
4 Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels, unless your cook book contains
instructions, for the food you are cooking.
5 Do not use newspaper in place of paper towels for cooking.
6 Do not use wooden containers. They may heat-up and char. Do not use
ceramic containers which have metallic (e.g. gold or silver) inlays. Always
remove metal twist ties. Metal objects in the oven may arc, which can cause
serious damage.
7 Do not operate the oven with a kitchen towel, a napkin or any other
obstruction between the door and the front edges of the oven, which may
cause microwave energy leakage.
8 Do not use recycled paper products since they may contain impurities which
may cause sparks and/or fires when used in cooking.
9 Do not rinse the turntable by placing it in water just after cooking. This may
cause breakage or damage.
Read carefully and keep for future reference
10 Small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating time. If normal
times are allowed they may overheat and burn.
11 Be certain to place the oven 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 appliance.
12 Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes, apples or any such fruit or
vegetable.
13 Do not cook eggs in their shell. Pressure will build up inside the egg which
will burst.
14 Do not attempt deep fat frying in your oven.
15 Remove the plastic wrapping from food before cooking or defrosting. Note
though that in some cases food should be covered with plastic film, for
heating or cooking.
16 If the oven door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated
until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician.
17 If smoke is observed, switch off or disconnect the oven from the power supply
and keep the oven door closed in order to stifle any flames.
18 When food is heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or
other combustible materials, check the oven frequently due to the possibility
of the food container is deteriorating.
19 Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate
instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe
way and understands the hazards of improper use.
20 Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are
liable to explode.
