Safety Precautions - Panasonic NE-1054F Owner's Manual

General Use
1. DO NOT tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to
door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any
other part of the oven. Do NOT remove outer panel from
oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service
person.
2. DO NOT operate the oven if empty. The microwave energy
will reflect continuously throughout the oven causing
overheating, if no food or water is present to absorb energy.
This could damage the oven and result in a risk of fire.
3. If a fire occurs in the oven, press STOP/RESET Pad and
LEAVE DOOR CLOSED.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
4. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in oven
or use newspapers or paper bags for cooking. Fire could
result.
5. DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper
product is labelled as safe for microwave oven use.
Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may
cause sparks, and result in fires when used.
6. DO NOT hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may
occur.
7. POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing
items from the oven. Heat is transferred from the HOT food
to the heating container.
8. DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in
the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
Utensils
Use only containers and materials specified by their
manufacturers to be for microwave use.
1. METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic trims should
not be used. Arcing may occur.
2. METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the microwave
oven.
3. DO NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK bottles for
cooking or reheating. They may shatter.
4. DO NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the
microwave oven. They may cause arcing.
5. Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS, before heating in the
oven.
6. When using foil, skewers, warming rack or utensils made
of metal in the oven allow at least 2.5 cm of space between
metal material and interior oven walls. If arcing (sparking)
occurs remove metal material (skewers, etc.) and/or
transfer to a nonmetallic container.

Safety Precautions

Food
1. It is better to UNDERHEAT RATHER THAN OVERHEAT
foods. If food is underheated, it can always be returned to
the oven for further heating. If food is overheated, nothing
can be done. Always start with minimum heating times.
2. SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW
MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if
heated too long.
3. Microwave popcorn which pops in its own package is
available. Each brand of microwave popcorn recommends
that their popcorn be used in microwave ovens listed at a
specific wattage. For example: "Use in a microwave oven
600 watts or greater'', or "Tested in microwaves of 450 to
1000 watts. " Follow popcorn manufacturer's directions and
use a brand suitable for at least a 650 watts microwave
oven.
4. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.
5. Do not boil eggs in their shell in a microwave oven.
Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode.
6. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn squash and
sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins.
These types of foods must be pierced before cooking, to
prevent bursting.
7. Liquids can become "superheated" in a microwave,
and when the container is moved in any way, the
superheated liquids can "explode" out of the container.
"Superheated" water is hotter than boiling water, EVEN
THOUGH IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BUBBLE. To reduce
the possibility of this occurrence: Always make sure that
liquids are stirred vigorously before heating to assure
that the liquid is mixed with air. NEVER HEAT LIQUIDS
FOR AN EXCESSIVE LENGTH OF TIME.
8. Do not use paper towels or cloths which contain a synthetic
fiber woven into them, such as nylon. The synthetic fiber
may cause the towel or cloth to ignite.
9. Do not use the oven for any reason other than the
preparation of food.
10. Your oven is equipped with a protective device designed to
turn the unit off in the event of overheating. The oven will
automatically reset itself after it has cooled. (approx. 30~60
min.)
