Safety Precautions - LG SolarDOM MP-1283SL Owner's Manual

1. Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to the
door, control panel, safety interlock switches or any other part of the
oven. Repairs should only be undertaken by a qualified service
technician.
2. Do not operate the oven when empty. It is best to leave a glass of water in
the oven when not in use. The water will safely absorb all microwave
energy if the oven is accidentally started.
3. Do not dry clothes in the microwave oven, which may become
carbonized or burned if heated too long.
4. Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels unless your cook book
contains instructions for the food you are cooking.
5. Do not use newspaper in place of paper towels for cooking.
6. Do not use wooden containers. They may heat-up and char.
Do not use metal containers or crockery containers which have metallic
(e.g. gold or silver) inlays. Always remove metal twist ties.
Metal objects in the oven may arcs, which can cause serious damage.
7. Do not operate the oven with a kitchen towel, a napkin or any other
obstruction between the door and the front edges of the oven, which may
cause microwave energy leakage.
8. Do not use recycled paper products since they may contain impurities
which may cause sparks and/or fires when used in cooking.
9. Do not rinse the turntable by placing it in water just after cooking. This
may cause breakage or damage.
10. Small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating time. If normal
times are allowed they may overheat and burn.
11. Be certain to place the oven so that the front of the door is 8cm or more
behind the edge of the surface on which it is placed, to avoid accidental
tipping of the appliance.
12. Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes, apples or any such fruit or
vegetable.
13. Do not cook eggs in their shell. Pressure will build up inside the egg
which will burst.
14. Do not attempt deep fat frying in your oven.
15. Remove the plastic wrapping from food before cooking or defrosting.
Note though that in some cases food should be covered with plastic film,
for heating or cooking, as detailed in microwave cook books.
16. The oven must never be used if the door sealing is not in good working
order.
17. When liquids are cooked in microwave units, they may be overheated
above their boiling point without visible bubbling. When the container is
removed, the shock may cause the sudden formation of steam bubbles.
A fountain of hot liquid can spring up out of the container explosively.
18. If smoke is observed keep the oven door closed and switch off or
disconnect the oven from the power supply.
19. When food is heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic,
paper or other combustible materials look at the oven frequently to check
if the food container is deteriorating.
20. The microwave oven must be operated with the decorative door open.
21. This connection may be achieved by having the plug accessible or by
incorporation a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring
rules.
22. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the
oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.
WARNING: Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as over cooking
may result in FIRE and subsequent DAMAGE to the OVEN.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children
should be kept away.
