To prevent fire burns electric shock and highlight other warnings:
Listed below are as with all appliances certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high
performance from this oven:
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
Do not use the oven when empty this could damage
the oven
Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage
such as papers cookbook cookware etc
Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in
place Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base
Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking
when you cook food sealed in bottles
Do not put foreign material between the oven surface
and door It could result in excessive leakage of
microwave energy
Do not use recycled paper products for cooking They
may contain impurities which could cause sparks
and/or fires when used during cooking
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
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
Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's
directions (popping time is generally below 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
If smoke is observed switch off or unplug the appliance
and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames
When heating food in plastic or paper containers keep
an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
must be stirred or shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption in order to avoid burns
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
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;
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
Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot
control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling therefore care must be taken when
handling the container
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a) Do not overheat the liquid
b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it
c) Do not use straight sided containers with narrow
necks
d) After heating allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container
e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance
This appliance is not intended for use by a
person(including children)with reduced
physical sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge unless they have been given
