Precautions to be taken when
using Microwave Ovens for Heating
Foodstuffs
Inspection for Damage:
A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection
confirms all of the following conditions:
1. The grille is not damaged or broken.
2. The door fits squarely and securely and opens and
closes smoothly.
3. The door hinges are in good condition.
4. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are neither
buckled nor deformed.
5. The door seals are neither covered with food nor have
large burn marks.
Precautions:
Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can cause
harmful effects if the following precautions are not taken:
1. Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking devices
on the door.
2. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object,
through a grille or between the door and the oven while
the oven is operating.
3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other heavy
metal objects in the oven.
4. Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil
containers, touch the side of the oven.
5. Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with water
and a mild detergent at regular intervals. Never use
any form of abrasive cleaner that may scratch or scour
surfaces around the door.
6. Always use the oven with cookware recommended by
the manufacturer.
7. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e. an absorbing
material such as food or water) in the oven cavity unless
specifically allowed in the manufacturer's literature.
8. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy objects
such as food containers on the door while it is open.
9. Do not place sealed containers in the microwave
oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat are
considered to be sealed containers.
10. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
11. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
12. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or repair operation that
involves the removal of a cover which gives protection
against exposure to microwave energy.
13. The surfaces are liable to get hot during use.
Practical Hints:
1. For initial use of COMBINATION and GRILL, if you see
white smoke arise, it is not malfunction.
2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet
and the oven door will get hot during COMBINATION
and GRILL. Use care when opening or closing door and
when inserting or removing food and accessories.
3. The oven has a heater situated in the top of the oven.
After using the GRILL and COMBINATION functions,
the ceiling will be very hot.
4. The accessible parts may become hot when GRILL or
COMBINATION is in use. Children should be kept away.

Important Instructions

WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using microwave oven.
2. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - (for example, closed glass jars and sealed
baby bottles with teat) may explode and should not be
heated in microwave oven. Refer to cookbook for more
details.
3. Use this microwave oven only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
4. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
5. Do not operate this microwave oven, if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
6. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
7. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
8. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
10. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave
oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
(b) Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing
bag in oven.
(c) If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven
door closed, turn oven off at the wall switch, or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
(d) Never leave microwave unattended while cooking
or reheating.
11. Do not remove outer panel from oven.
12. Appliances are not intended to be operated by means of
an external timer or separate remote-control system.
13. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could
lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely
affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
Circuits
Your microwave ovens should be operated on a separate
circuit from other appliances. The voltage used must be the
same as specified on this microwave oven. Failure to do
this may cause the power board fuse to blow, and/or food to
cook slower.
Do not insert higher value fuse in the power board.
Earthing Instructions
This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This microwave oven is equipped with an earthing plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and earthed.
WARNING—Improper use of the earthing plug can result in
electric shock.
