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 operat e
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.
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it
has been repaired by qualified service p ersonnel.
• 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.
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service
Force Centre.
• Do not remove the outer case, door or control
panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure
to extremely high voltage.
• Install or locate this oven only in accordance with
“INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS” found in this
manual.
• Use the appliance for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or defrost
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory
use neither for commercial use as this will
invalidate the guarantee.
• Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is
not present to absorb the microwave energy, the
magnetron tube can be damaged.
• Close supervision is necessary when the oven is
used by children.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use
this product near water.
• Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspap ers in
the microwave oven. These items can ignite.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do
not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or
food in the cavity when not in use.
Utensil safety
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant
glassware utensils are excellent for use in the
microwave oven. Although microwave energy will not
heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils
can become hot as heat transfers from the food t o
the container. The use of oven gloves to remove
dishes is recommended.
Safety instructions when cooking by
Grill
1. The glass viewing window may break if water is
spilled on it during grilling.
2. 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
turntable and metal rack also get very hot so be
sure to use an oven glove when handling them.
3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window
with metal components when loadin g or unloading
the oven. The inside of the door and oven get
very hot so take care when attending food in the
oven.
4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold
water or try to cool them quickly after use.
5. 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 occur on the door, or even
around 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 safet y of your oven.
The door is not intended to seal the oven cavit y
completely.

Testing suitability of cookware Food safety
• Place the cookware in the microwave along wit h a
glass half full of water. Heat on 750 W (100%) f or
one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you shou ld
not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it
for reheating but not for cooking. If t he dish is
room temperature, it is suitable for microwave
cooking.
• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plat es,
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 overheat ing.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers an d
plastic wraps may be used in the microwave
oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions wh en
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 i n
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 wit h metallic trim
•
should not be used in the microwave oven, unl ess
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.
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.
•
Always remove the food to a suitable contain er.
Deep fat frying should not be done in the
•
microwave oven, because the fat temperature
cannot be controlled, hazardous situations 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 un-attended.
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.
WARNING: When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces
and beverages in your microwave oven, overheat ing
the liquid beyond boiling point can occu r without
evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent t his possibility
the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the cont ainer in the
oven and again halfway through the he at ing time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven f or 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 b efore
removing cover.
NOTE:
Do not force the turntable to rotate by han d. This
•
may cause malfunctioning.
Arcing in the oven during microwave operation
•
usually occurs from use of metallic ut ensils.
