Precautions to be taken when using
Microwave Ovens for Heating Foodstuffs
INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE:
A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection
confirms all of the following conditions:
1. The door fits squarely, securely and opens and
closes smoothly.
2. The door hinges are in good condition.
3. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are
neither buckled nor deformed.
4. The door seals are neither covered with food nor
have large burn marks.
PRECAUTIONS:
Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can cause
harmful effects if the following precautions are not
taken:
1. Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking
devices on the door.
2. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object,
between the door and the oven while the oven is
operating.
3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other
heavy metal objects in the oven.
4. Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil
containers, touch the side of the oven.
5. Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with
water and a mild detergent at regular intervals.
Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may
scratch or scour surfaces around the door.
6. 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.
7. Always use the oven with the cookware
recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e., an
absorbing material such as food or water) in the
oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the
manufacturer's literature.
9. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy
objects such as food containers on the door while
it is open.

10. Do not place sealed containers in the microwave
oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat
are considered to be sealed containers.
11. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
12. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
13. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or repair operation
that involves the removal of a cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.
14. The surfaces are liable to get hot during use.
15. The appliance must not be installed behind a
decorative door in order to avoid overheating.
Practical Hints:
1. For initial use of Steam, Grill, Oven and
Combination, if you see white smoke arise, it is
not a malfunction.
2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on
the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during
Steam, Grill, Oven and Combination. Use with
care when opening or closing door and when
inserting or removing food and accessory.
Caution! Hot surfaces
3. The oven has heating elements situated in the top
and in the base of the oven. After using the Grill,
Oven and Combination functions, the ceiling will
be very hot.
4. During use the appliance becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating elements
inside the oven.
5. The accessible parts may become hot when
Steam, Grill, Oven and Combination is in use.
Children should be kept away.
6. Before using Grill, Oven and Combination
functions for the first time, operate the oven
without food and accessory on Oven 230 °C for
10 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for
rust protection to be burned off. This is the only
time that the oven is operated completely empty.
