General Use
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure top
performance from this oven:
11. 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.
They may catch on fire.
12. Do not use the oven when empty, this could
damage the oven.
13. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of
storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware,
etc.
14. Do not operate the oven without the turntable tray
in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the
rotating base.
15. Be cautious when removing the turntable tray
after cooking meats that may have caused an
accumulation of grease in the tray.
16. Unlike microwave-only ovens, this oven may
become hot on the cabinet and oven door.
Always use hot pads or oven mitts when placing
or removing food and/or accessories from the
oven.
Be cautious about touching parts other then the
control panel during or immediately following grill
or combination cooking.
17. If the oven is hot from combination cooking, do
not then use plastic or Styrofoam cookware for
microwave cooking. They may melt.
18. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking.
They may contain impurities which could cause
sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.
19. Do not continue to cook with metal utensils if
sparking appears. See "Accessories" section on
page 8 for proper use of cookware.
10. Do not leave the oven unattended during short
cooking times. Overcooking and fire may result.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Do not attempt to operate this appliance with the
door open.
14. Do not attempt to remove covers, panels, etc.
15. Keep an eye on the oven from time to time when
food is heated or cooked in disposable containers
of plastic, paper or other combustible materials.
16. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the
appliance and keep the door closed in order to
stifle any flames.
17. Microwave heating of berverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be
taken when handling the container.
18. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to
cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.
19. Do not put foreign material between the oven
surface and door. It could result in excessive
leakage of microwave energy.
20. 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.
21. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of
ignition.
22. 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.
23. 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;
24. 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.
25. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot
control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire.
26. During use the appliance becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements inside the oven.
27. Do not use a steam cleaner in the oven.
