1.4 To avoid the danger of fire
The microwave oven should not be left
unattended during operation. Power levels
that are too high or cooking times that are
too long may overheat foods resulting in a
fire. The electrical outlet must be readily
accessible so that the unit can be
unplugged easily in an emergency. The
AC power supply must be 240 V, 50 Hz,
with a minimum 15 A distribution line fuse,
or a minimum 15 A distribution circuit
breaker. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance
be provided. Do not store or use the oven
outdoors.
Do not place flammable materials near the
oven or ventilation openings. Do not block
the ventilation openings. Remove all
metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food
and food packages. Arcing on metallic
surfaces may cause a fire. Do not use the
microwave oven to heat oil for deep frying.
The temperature cannot be controlled and
the oil may catch fire. To make popcorn,
only use special microwave popcorn
makers. Do not store food or any other
items inside the oven. Check the settings
after you start the oven to ensure the oven
is operating as desired. Do not operate the
oven with the door open or alter the door
safety latches in any way. Do not operate
the oven if there is an object between the
door seals and sealing surfaces.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should
check with their doctor or the manufacturer
of the pacemaker for precautions
regarding microwave ovens.
1.5 To avoid the possibility of
electric shock
Under no circumstances should you
remove the outer cabinet. Never spill or
insert any objects into the door lock
openings or ventilation openings. In the
event of a spill, turn off and unplug the
oven immediately and call an authorised
ELECTROLUX service agent. Do not
immerse the power supply cord or plug in
water or any other liquid. Do not allow the
power supply cord to run over any hot or
sharp surfaces, such as the hot air vent
area at the top rear of the oven.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced with a special
cord. The exchange must be made by an
authorised ELECTROLUX service agent.
1.6 To avoid the possibility of
explosion and sudden boiling
Never use sealed containers. Remove
seals and lids before use. Sealed
containers can explode due to a build up of
pressure even after the oven has been
turned off. Take care when microwaving
liquids. Use a wide-mouthed container to
allow bubbles to escape.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid
and possible scalding:
• Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
• It is advisable to insert a glass rod or
similar utensil into the liquid whilst
reheating.
• Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds
in the oven at the end of cooking time to
prevent delayed eruptive boiling.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes,
sausages and fruit before cooking, or they
may explode.
1.7 To avoid the possibility of
burns
Use pot holders or oven gloves when
removing food from the oven to prevent
burns. Always open containers, popcorn
makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away
from the face and hands to avoid steam
burns.
Temperature of the container is not a true
indication of the temperature of the food or
drink; always check the food temperature.
Always stand back from the oven door
when opening to avoid burns from
escaping steam and heat. Slice stuffed
baked foods after heating to release steam
and avoid burns.
Do not lean or swing on the oven door.
Do not play with the oven or use it as a toy.
Children should be taught all important
safety instructions: use of pot holders,
careful removal of food coverings; paying
special attention to packaging (e.g. self-
heating materials) designed to make food
crisp, as they may be extra hot.
