SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GENERAL USE

Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure top
performance from this 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 use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.
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 cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers,
etc., without first piercing them several times with a fork.
10. 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.
11. Should the microwave oven emit smoke in quantity to indicate a fire, keep the oven door shut,
switch the appliance off and disconnect the mains lead from the outlet.
12. When flammable food containers are used in the oven (e.g. packet popcorn) be sure to check
the cooking process periodically in case fire has occured.
13. Always stir and/or shake the containers of baby foods prior to testing their temperature and
serving the contents.
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
things which have been heated in a microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though the
microwave oven cooking has stopped.
CAUTION: Always set short cooking times and check the food frequently.
If the recommended cooking times are exceeded the food, especially oil or fat, will
be spoiled and in extreme circumstances could catch fire.
