Precautions To Avoid Possible Exposure To Excessive Microwave Energy - LG MS-424E Owner's Manual

Precautions to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy.

You cannot operate your oven with the door open due to the safety interlocks built into the door mechanism.
These safety interlocks automatically switch off any cooking activity when the door is opened; which in the case of
a microwave oven could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy.
It is important not to tamper with the safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow food or cleaner residue to accumulate
on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate your oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that
there is no damage to the: (1) door(bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing
surfaces.
Your oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.
• Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.
• If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any
flames.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling. Therefore care has to be taken when
handing the container.
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be
checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
• Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs shall not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode.
Warning
Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as over cooking may result in
the FOOD catching fire and subsequent damage to your oven.
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond
boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To
prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stir or shake them again carefully and check the
temperature of them before consumption to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food
jars).
