Safety Precautions - LG MS-424E Owner's Manual

1. Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any
adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel,
safety interlock switches or any other part of the
oven. It is hazardous for anyone to carry out any
service or repair operation which involves the
removal of any cover which gives protection against
exposure to microwave energy. Repairs should only
be undertaken by a qualified service technician.
2. Do not operate the oven when empty. It is best to
leave a glass of water in the oven when not in use.
The water will safely absorb all microwave energy, if
the oven is accidentally started.
3. Do not use the oven for the purpose of
dehumidification. It can be the cause of serious
damage of safety. (ex. Operating the microwave
oven with the wet newspapers, clothes, toys, pet or
portable electric devices, etc.)
4. Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels, unless
your cook book contains instructions, for the food
you are cooking.
5. Do not use newspaper in place of paper towels for
cooking.
6. Do not use wooden containers. They may heat-up
and char. Do not use ceramic containers which
have metallic (e.g. gold or silver) inlays. Always
remove metal twist ties. Metal objects in the oven
may arc, which can cause serious damage.
7. Do not operate the oven with a kitchen towel, a
napkin or any other obstruction between the door
and the front edges of the oven, which may cause
microwave energy leakage.
8. Do not use recycled paper products since they may
contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or
fires when used in cooking.
9. Do not rinse the turntable by placing it in water just
after cooking. This may cause breakage or damage.
10. Small amounts of food require shorter cooking or
heating time. If normal times are allowed they may
overheat and burn.
11. Be certain to place the oven so the front of the
door is 8 cm or more behind the edge of the
surface on which it is placed, to avoid accidental
tipping of the appliance.

12. Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes, apples
or any such fruit or vegetable.
13. Do not cook eggs in their shell. Pressure will build
up inside the egg which will burst.
14. Do not attempt deep fat frying in your oven.
15. Remove the plastic wrapping from food before
cooking or defrosting. Note though that in some
cases food should be covered with plastic film, for
heating or cooking.
16. If the oven door or door seals are damaged, the
oven must not be operated until it has been
repaired by a qualified service technician.
17. If smoke is observed, switch off or disconnect the
oven from the power supply and keep the oven
door closed in order to stifle any flames.
18. When food is heated or cooked in disposable
containers of plastic, paper or other combustible
materials, check the oven frequently due to the
possibility of the food container is deteriorating.
19. Only allow children to use the oven without
supervision when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use the oven in a
safe way and understands the hazards of improper
use.
20. Liquids or other foods must not be heated in
sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
21. Do not operate the oven, if the door seals and
adjacent parts of the microwave oven are faulty,
until the oven has been repaired by a qualified
service technician.
22. Check the utensils are suitable for use in
microwave ovens before use.
23. Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear
cabinet, oven cavity, accessories and dishes
during grill mode, convection mode and auto cook
operations, unless wearing thick oven gloves, as
they will become hot. Before clearing make sure
they are not hot.
