The Microwave Oven - Daewoo KOR-6L5R

Important Safety Instructions:

1. Do not use the oven for any reason other
than food preparation.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could
damage the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of
storage.
4. Do not operate the oven without the glass
tray in place. Be sure it is sitting properly
on the rotating base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior
to cooking when you cook food sealed in
bottles.
6. Do not put foreign material between the
oven surface and door. It could result in
excessive leakage of microwave energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products for
cooking. They may contain impurities
which could cause sparks and/or fires when
used during cooking.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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 scorching and fire. Also, the cooking
tray can become too hot to handle or may
break.
11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug
the appliance and keep the door closed in
order to stifle any flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due to
the possibility of ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the
temperature checked before consumption,
in order to avoid burns.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Keep the wave guide 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.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you
cannot control the temperature and doing
so may lead to overheating and fire.
18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling due
to surface tension of the liquid. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN
VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL
IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce
the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Do not use straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
c. After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short
time before removing the container.
19. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
20. Only use utensils that are suitable for use
in microwave ovens.
21. Microwave heating of beverages can result
in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
must be taken when handling the container.
