Precautions For Placement And Cooking - Panasonic HomeCHEF NU-SC180 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Precautions
1. The oven surface may become very hot during
and after use. The temperature at the housing
surface, air outlet, oven door and oven cavity
are relatively high. Do not press these parts;
otherwise you maybe scalded. Young children
should be kept away.
2. If white smoke appears when the Conv. Bake
function is used for the first time, it does not
indicate a fault. The protective oil of components
is volatilized to generate white smoke due to
heating.
3. The vessel and food temperatures are very high
when you stir or turn over the food during cooking
or take food out after the cooking. Please use
insulation gloves or a pot clip to prevent scalding.
4. If you need to open the oven door to stir, turn
over or rearrange food in the process of using
steam, note to keep a distance; otherwise steam
may scald your face or hands.
5. When the oven door is open, do not drag the
container along the oven door. The weight borne
by the oven door cannot exceed 9 lbs (4 kg).
