Safety instructions.
• The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the microwave oven from operating when the
door is open.
• Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate the oven with the door open as open door
operation can result in exposure to microwave energy.
• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the
Cleaning and Care section for cleaning instructions.
• It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to
the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing
surface. m If the door, hinges/latches or door seals are damaged, the microwave must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a authorized service person.
It is hazardous for anyone except factory trained service personnel to service or
make adjustments to this oven. Contact your nearest authorised service agent if
service should be required.

exposure to extremely high voltage.
• Install or locate this oven only in accordance with ‘installation instructions’ found in this
manual.

Safety instructions
1. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and unloading the oven. Containers get very hot
in the oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turn-table may also get very hot so be
sure to use an oven glove when handling it.
2. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window with metal components when loading or
unloading the oven. The inside of the door and oven may get very hot so take care when
attending food in the oven.
3. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold water or try to cool them quickly after use.
4. Do not place items on top of the cabinet. The top of the cabinet gets very hot, so anything
placed on it may be damaged by the heat.
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door, or for misting to
• Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This may cause malfunctioning.
• Arcing in the oven during microwave operation usually occurs from use of metallic utensils.

utensil.
• Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents located on the top, rear, side and bottom
of the oven.
Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.This oven is made for domestic use only.

occur on the door, or even for water droplets to appear below the door during
the cooking cycle. This is merely condensation from the heat of the food and
does not affect the safety of your oven. The door is not intended to seal the oven
cavity completely.

Utensil safety
• Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass-ware utensils are excellent for use in the
micro-wave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items,
these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the container. The use of
oven gloves to remove dishes is recommended.
Testing suitability of cookware
• Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass half full of water. Heat on full
power 800W (100%) for one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use it. If it is
just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is room
temperature, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard
are great convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are filled with food to absorb
energy and thus avoid the possibility of overheating.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic wraps may be used in the
microwave oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using plastics in the oven. Avoid
using plastic utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar content since these foods reach
high temperatures and could melt some plastics.
• Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from time to time when heating or cooking
food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers. If smoke is observed, keep door closed,
switch the oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.
• Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven,
unless specifically recommended for microwave use.
• Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles, should not be used for microwave
cooking.
• Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a dish to avoid steam burns.
Foil containers
Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat foods in your microwave oven providing
the following rules are observed:
• Foil containers should not be more than 3 cms (1 1/4”) deep.
• Foil lids must not be used.
• The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of food. Empty containers must never be
used.
• Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave oven and should not be allowed to
touch the sides. If your oven has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the foil container should
be placed on an upturned oven-proof plate.
• Foil containers should never be re-used in the microwave oven.
• If the microwave oven has been in use for 15 minutes or more, allow it to cool before using
it again.
• The container and turntable may become hot during use, take great care when removing
either from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove when doing so.
• Remember when using an aluminium foil container that the reheating or cooking times may
be longer than you are used to, always ensure that the food is piping hot before serving.
