IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other hazards please heed the following
warnings.
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to ensure high
performance from your microwave oven.
1. Do not use the oven for any reason other
than food preparation, such as for drying
clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items or
for sterilizing purposes.
2. Do not operate the oven when empty, this
could damage the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of
storage, such as papers, cookbooks,
cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the glass
tray in place. Be sure it is sitting properly on
the rotating base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to
cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles
or containers.
6. Do not put foreign material between the oven
surface and door. It could result in excessive
leakage of microwave energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products for
cooking. They may contain impurities which
could cause sparks and/or fires when used
during cooking.
8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a
microwave approved popcorn popper or
unless it's commercially packaged and
recommended especially for microwave
ovens. Microwave popped corn produces a
lower yield than conventional popping; there
will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not
use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
9. Do not pop popcorn longer than the
manufacturer's directions. (popping time is
generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking
does not yield more popped corn, it can
cause scorchings and fire.
Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to
handle or may break.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
10. Do not cook any food surrounded by a
membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes,
chicken livers, etc., without first piercing
them several times with a fork.
11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug
the appliance and keep the door closed in
order to stifle any flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due to
the possibility of ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars should be stirred or shaken and
the temperature checked before
consumption in order to avoid burns.
14. Always test the temperature of food or drink
which has been heated in a microwave
oven before you give it to somebody,
especially to children or elderly people. This
is important because food and drink which
has been heated in a microwave oven
continue to get hotter even though the
microwave oven cooking has stopped.
15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled
eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode, even after
microwave heating has ended;
16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all
times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft
damp cloth after each use. If you leave
grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may
overheat, smoke or even catch fire when
next using the oven.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you
cannot control the temperature and doing so
may lead to overheating and fire.
18. Microwave heating of beverages can result
in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
must be taken when handling the container.
