Important Safety - LG MC8088HLC Owner's Manual

Please keep for future reference. Read and follow all instructions before using your oven to
prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or damage when using the oven.
This guide does not cover all possible conditions that may occur. Always contact your
service agent or manufacturer about problems that you do not understand.
1. You cannot operate your oven with the door open due to the safety
interlocks built into the door mechanism. It is important not to tamper
with the safety interlocks.
It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy. (Safety
interlocks automatically switch off any cooking activity when the door is
opened.)
2. Do not place any object (such as kitchen towels, napkins, etc.) between
the oven front face and the door or allow food or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.
It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.
3. 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.
It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.
4. Please ensure cooking times are correctly set, Small amounts of food
require shorter cooking or heating time.
Over cooking may result in the food catching on fire and subsequent
damage to your oven.
CAUTION
5. When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your
microwave oven,
* Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.
* Do not overheat.
* Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again
halfway through the heating time.
* After heating, let it stand in the oven for a short time; stir or shake it
again carefully and check the temperature of it before consuming to
avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).
Be careful when handling the container. Microwave heating of beverages
can result in delayed eruptive boiling without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in hot liquids suddenly boiling over.
6. An exhaust outlet is located on the top, bottom or side of the oven. Don't
block the outlet.
It could result in damage to your oven and poor cooking results.
7. 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.
Improper use could result in damage to your oven.
8. Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels, unless your cook book
contains instructions for the food you are cooking. And do not use
newspaper in place of paper towels for cooking.
Improper use can cause an explosion or a fire.
