PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful

exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate

on sealing surfaces.

competent person : (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches(broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing

surfaces.

(d) WARNING : It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation

that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

(e) WARNING : Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

(f) WARNING : Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given

so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

(g) WARNING : When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children should only use the oven under

adult supervision due to the temperature generated. (if provided)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTR UCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings:

Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high

performance from this oven:

1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food

preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any

other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.

2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage

the oven.

3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage,

such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.

4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in

place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating

base.

5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking

when you cook food sealed in bottles.

6. Do not put foreign material between the oven

surface and door. It could result in excessive

leakage of microwave energy.

7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking.

They may contain impurities which could cause

sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.

8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave

approved popcorn popper or unless it's commercially

packaged and recommended especially for

microwave ovens. Microwave popped corn produces

a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be

a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless

specified by the manufacturer.

9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane,

such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc.,

without first piercing them several times with a fork.

10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's

directions. (popping time is generally below 3

minutes). Longer cooking does not yield more

popped corn, it can cause scorchings and fire.

Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle

or may break.

11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the

appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle

any flames.

12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,

keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of

ignition.

13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars

shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature

checked before consumption, in order to avoid

burns.

14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which

has been heated in a microwave oven before you

give it to somebody, especially to children or elderly

people. This is important because things which

have been heated in a microwave oven carry on

getting hotter even though the microwave oven

cooking has stopped.

15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs

should not be heated in microwave ovens since

they may explode, even after microwave heating

has ended.

16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe

the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each

use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the

cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire

when next using the oven.

17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot

control the temperature and doing so may lead to

overheating and fire.

18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be

overheated beyond the boiling point without

appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the

liquid. 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 A

SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED

INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

a) Do not overheat the liquid.

b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through

heating it

c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow

necks.

d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the

microwave oven for a short time before removing

the container.

e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or

other utensil into the container.

19. This appliance is not intended for use by

persons(including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience

and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

20. Children should be supervised to ensure that they

do not play with the appliance.

EARTHING INSTR UCTIONS

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an

electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of

electric shock by providing an escape wire for the

electric current. This appliance is equipped with a

cord having a earthing wire with a earthing plug.

The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is

properly installed and earthed.

WARNING : Improper use of th earthing plug can

result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified

electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions

are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as

to whether the appliance is properly earthed.

If it is necesary to use an extension cord, use only a

3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade earthing

plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug

on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension

cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical

rating of the appliance.
