Important Safety Instructions

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

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 the 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, STEAM, GRILL,
OVEN, and CRISPY 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, STEAM, GRILL, OVEN, and
CRISPY GRILL. Use care when opening or closing
door and when inserting or removing food and
accessories.
3. The oven has two grill heaters situated in the
top of the oven. After using the COMBINATION,
STEAM, GRILL, OVEN, and CRISPY GRILL
functions, the ceiling will be very hot.
4. The accessible parts may become hot when
COMBINATION, STEAM, GRILL, OVEN, and CRISPY
GRILL is in use. Children should be kept away.
5. Before using COMBINATION, STEAM, GRILL,
OVEN, or CRISPY GRILL functions for the
first time, operate the oven without food and
accessories on OVEN 220 °C for 10 minutes. This
will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to
be burned off. This is the only time that the oven is
operated completely empty.
