4 Do not operate the oven without the glass
tray in place. Be sure it is sitting properly
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 3minutes). Longer
cooking does not yield more popped
corn it can cause scorching and fire. Also,
the cooking tray can become too hot to
handle or may break.
11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug
the appliance and keep the door closed in
order to stifle any flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due
lo the possibility of ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the
temperature checked before consumption,
in order to avoid burns.
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
156
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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you
cannot control the temperature and doing
so may lead to overheating and fire.
18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing lo be boiling due
to surface tension of the Iiquid. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN
VERY HOT LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of Injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the Iiquid 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.
CARE OF THE MICROWAVE
1. Turn the oven off before cleaning
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When
food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to
oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild
detergent may be used if the oven gets
very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or
abrasives is not recommended.
