SPECIAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

• The microwave oven is
intended for heating food
and beverages. Drying of
food or clothing and heating
of warming pads, slippers,
sponges, damp cloths and
similar may lead to risk of
injury, ignition or fire.

• Ensure all food containers
and/or plates are suitable for
use in the microwave oven.
This should be done prior to
preparing food for heating
or cooking in the microwave
oven. Always monitor food
and liquids heating or
cooking in the microwave

oven due to the possibility
of containers igniting.

• All suitable glass or plastic
food containers should be
used in strict compliance with
the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations.

• Food and/or liquids should not
be heated or cooked directly
on the glass turntable. They
must be placed into a suitable
microwave-proof container
before placing onto the glass
turntable.

• Food and/or liquids should not
be heated or cooked in plastic
or paper containers or bags,
unless specified as suitable for
use by the manufacturer, due
to the possibility of containers
exploding or igniting.

• Metal clips or twist ties should
be removed from the packaging
as these could cause sparking
and/or fire.

• Do not use recycled paper or
paper towels when cooking.
Recycled paper may contain
small metal or other impurities
which could cause sparking
and/or fire.

• Do not use metal containers
or utensils in the microwave
oven as these could cause
sparking and/or fire except the
accessories provided with this
microwave oven.

7

BMO840_ANZ_IB_C20.indd 7 23/4/20 11:42 am

• Food grade foil should not be
used in the microwave oven as
this could cause sparking and/
or fire.

• Ensure that lids and caps
covering containers are
removed prior to placing
liquids and/or foods into the
microwave oven.

• Feeding bottles and baby food
jars should have lids and caps
removed before warming or
heating in the microwave oven.
To avoid burns or scalding
after heating, the contents
should be stirred or shaken,
and the temperature checked
before serving.

• Always ensure the temperature
of food or drink which has
been heated or cooked in the
microwave oven has been
tested before eating, drinking
or serving.

• Some containers and/or plates
may appear suitable for use
in the microwave oven but
may be coated in a glaze that
will absorb the microwave
energy, overheat and cause the
container to crack. The glaze
may also prevent the food from
heating/cooking.

• Utensils should be checked to
ensure that they are suitable for
use in microwave ovens.

8

• Allow proper cool down time
for heated food or drink before
handling or serving from the
microwave oven. Always test
before eating, drinking or
serving to others, especially
children, disabled or elderly.

• If cooking meat, poultry or
fish, always make sure they
are cooked thoroughly and
measured with an appropriate
temperature registering
device to help protect against
foodborne illness.

• Do not heat popcorn in the
microwave oven unless it has
been commercially packaged
for microwave oven use. There
may be several un-popped
kernels that may overcook and
burn when popping popcorn.

• Do not cook any food
surrounded by a membrane
(such as potatoes, chicken liver,
egg yolks, oysters, etc) without
first piercing the membrane
several times with a fork or
similar utensil.

• “Boilable” cooking pouches,
bags or containers should
always be slit, pierced or vented
as directed by the package.
If they are not, plastic or
packaging could burst resulting
in burns and injury.

• Always allow items to cool down
before opening or handling.
Use caution when opening
or handling.

BMO840_ANZ_IB_C20.indd 8 23/4/20 11:42 am

• Use caution when opening bags,
pouches, lids or containers as
hot steam, food or liquid can
escape causing burns or injury.

• Eggs in the shell and whole
hard-boiled eggs should not
be cooked or heated in the
microwave oven as they may
explode during cooking, at
the end of cooking or after
removing from microwave oven.

• Do not heat oil or fat in the
microwave oven. Doing so
may cause the microwave oven
and/ or the oil to overheat
and/or ignite.

• If smoke is observed, switch off
and unplug the microwave oven
at the power outlet. Keep the
door closed to stifle any flames.
If you see any sparks, arcing or
flashing within the microwave
oven, press the STOP/CLEAR
button and correct the problem
or contact Breville Consumer
Support for assistance.

• Wipe the oven cavity with a
soft, damp cloth after each use.
Leaving food residue, grease
or fat in the cavity could cause
the microwave oven cavity to
overheat and may cause the
microwave oven to smoke or
catch fire.

• The microwave oven should be
cleaned regularly and any food
splattering inside the cavity
should be removed. Failure to

maintain the microwave oven
in a clean condition could
lead to deterioration of the
surface, adversely affecting
the life of the microwave oven
and possibly resulting in a
hazardous situation.

• Do no attempt to operate
the microwave oven by any
method other than those
described in this instruction
book.

• When heating food in plastic
or paper containers, keep an
eye on the oven due to the
possibility of ignition.

WARNING

• Liquids and other foods
must not be heated in sealed
containers since they are liable
to explode.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
