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.

by a 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 which 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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:

11. 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.

12. Do not use the oven when empty, this could

damage the oven.

13. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of

storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.

14. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray

in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.

15. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to

cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.

16. Do not put foreign material between the oven

surface and door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy.

17. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking.

They may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.

18. 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.

19. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

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 3wire 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.
