Safety instructions
1. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and unlo ading 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 t op 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
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.
Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This may cause malfunctioning.

Utensil safety
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass-ware utensils are excellent for use in the
•
micro-wave oven. Although micr owave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items,
these utensils can become hot as he at 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 700W (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, pl at es, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard
•
are great convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are filled wit h food to absorb
energy and thus avoid the possibility of overheating.
Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer cont ainers 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 f oods reach
high temperatures and could melt some plast ic s.
Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from t im e to time when heat ing or cooking
•
food in plastic, paper or other combustible contain ers. 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 f or microwave
•
cooking.
Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a dish to avoid steam burns.

Food safety
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven. Alw ays rem o ve t he f ood to a suitable
•
container.
Deep fat frying should not be done in the microwave oven, because the fat temperature
•
cannot be controlled, hazardous sit uations can result.
Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven, but only in special packages or utensils
•
designed specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never be unattended.
Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes to prevent steam build-up and bursting.
•
Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and egg yolks are examples of items that should be pierced.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the
•
temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. When heating
liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverage s in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possib ility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using traight-sided contai ners with narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the cont ainer in the oven and again halfway through the
heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for
example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in this oven.
Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then
cover and allow the standing time of one minute bef o re removing cover.
Keep these instructions!
