Do not use oven cleaners, harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, or polishes. No
z
commercial oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any kind should be used in
or around any part of the oven. Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they scratch the surface, which may
result in the glass shattering.
Avoid using products containing chlorine, acids or abrasives, especially for cleaning
z
painted parts. In addition, avoid using acid or alkaline substances.
Do not spray water or use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven. Use only
z
slightly damp cloths.
Microwave cooking
Do not operate microwave functions while the oven is empty.
z
Eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
z
ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the
z
temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
z
has to be taken when handling the container.
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling
z
point without appearing to be boiling. 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.
Do not overheat liquid. To avoid delayed boiling when heating liquids, always put a
z
spoon in the container. Beverages containing spoons should be placed in the centre
of the oven. Metal components must stay at least 2 cm from the walls of the oven and
the inside of the door. Sparks could damage the inside of the glass door. Stir the liquid
both before and halfway through heating it.
Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
z
After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for at least 20
z
seconds before removing the container.
Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
z
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they
z
are liable to explode.
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
z
Unsuitable dishware
Never turn on the microwave oven before you have put in the food. The only exception
z
allowed is testing dishware.
Only use plates and crockery that are microwave safe.
z
Never heat food covered in tin foil when using microwave or combination functions.
z
Use only bakeware approved for oven use. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
z
Metallic containers for food and beverage are not allowed during microwave cooking.
z
Pacemakers
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including
z
microwaves. However, patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if
they have concerns.
