IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
6
▯
Do not store anything directly on top of the
appliance surface when the appliance is in
operation.
▯
Oversized food or oversized metal utensils
should not be inserted in a microwave oven as
they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
▯
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts
involving a risk of electric shock.
▯
Do not store any materials, other than
manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in
this oven when not in use.
▯
Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven
with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the
oven.
In Case of Fire
If materials inside an oven should ignite:
1. Keep door closed
2. Turn appliance off
3. Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit
breaker
Liquids
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be
overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to boil. For example, visible bubbling
or boiling when the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in
the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
CAUTION
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1 in
(25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside
of the door.
▯
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat
up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable
ovenware. The different components of the meal may
not require the same amount of time to heat up.
▯
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable
cover for your container, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
▯
Stir or turn the food several times during cooking.
Check the temperature.
▯
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
▯
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the oven.
Cooking Items
Eggs: Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to
explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury.
Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking
scrambled eggs is safe.
Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven
corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions
and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven.
Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped.
Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven
unattended.
CAUTION
When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check
package weight before using the popcorn function. Set
the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these
instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop
adequately or may ignite and cause fire.
Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are
examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of
foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them
from exploding.
Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or
food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of
food may appear warm while the interior can burn the
infant’s mouth and esophagus.
Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be
heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a
microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough
for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points
and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and
spatter causing possible damage to the oven and
perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave–safe
utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of
the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it
contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of
foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the
jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain
the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly
canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture
content can dry out, burn or catch on fire.
