Important information – read carefully
Safety
If smoke is emitted or a fi re occurs in the
oven, touch Stop/Cancel and leave the door
closed in order to stifl e any fl ames.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power
at the fuse or the circuit breaker panel.
Short cooking times
As microwave cooking times are much
shorter than other cooking methods it is
essential that recommended cooking times
are not exceeded without fi rst checking the
food.
Cooking times given in the cookbook are
approximate. Factors that may affect
cooking times are: preferred degree of
cooking, starting temperature, altitude,
volume, size and shape of foods and utensils
used. As you become familiar with the oven,
you will be able to adjust these factors.
It is better to undercook rather than overcook
foods. If food is undercooked, it can always
be returned to the oven for further cooking.
If food is overcooked, nothing can be done.
Always start with minimum cooking times.
 Important
If the recommended cooking times are
exceeded the food will be spoiled and in
extreme circumstances could catch fi re and
possibly damage the interior of the oven.
Small quantities of food
Take care when heating small quantities
of food as these can easily burn, dry out or
catch fi re if cooked too long. Always set short
cooking times and check the food frequently.
NEVER OPERATE THE OVEN WITHOUT

Foods low in moisture
Take care when heating foods low in
moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate,
biscuits and pastries. These can easily burn,
dry out or catch on fi re if cooked too long.
We do not recommend heating foods low in
moisture such as popcorn or poppodums.
The microwave oven is intended for heating
food and beverages only. Drying of food,
newspapers or clothing and heating of
warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp
cloth, wheat bags, hot water bottles and
similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or
fi re.
Christmas pudding
Christmas puddings and other foods high in
fats or sugar, e.g. jam, mince pies, must not
be over heated. These foods must never be
left unattended as with over cooking these
foods can ignite.
Boiled eggs
Eggs in their shell and whole hardboiled
eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after
microwave heating has ended.
Foods with skins
Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole
vegetables and sausages are examples of
food with non porous skins. These must be
pierced using a fork before cooking to
prevent bursting.
 Warning
Liquids and other foods must not be heated
in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
