The plug contains a removable fuse cover that must be refitted when the fuse is replaced. In the event of the fuse
cover being lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover has been obtained.
If the mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is removed for any other reason,
then the fuse should be removed and the cut off plug disposed of safely to prevent the hazard of electric shock.
There is a danger of electric shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket outlet.

DO’S AND DON’TS
To use the microwave oven safely, be sure to observe the following rules
Do not remove the cabinet
The cabinet contains high voltage wiring, and it is dangerous
Do not insert anything in to the holes of the safety catches, air outlets, air inlets,
the small holes inside the oven, or the holes at the rear of the appliance
The insertion may cause not only the failure of the switches and internal parts but there
is also the danger of an electric shock
Do not run the microwave oven when the turntable is empty
The door, turntable, and other roller ring will be overheated and the life of the magnetron,
an important part of the microwave oven, will be shortened
Do not cover the air outlets or inlets on the cabinet, nor place anything on the
cabinet
The microwave oven may be damaged because the internal parts cannot be cooled
sufficiently. Also, the item placed on the cabinet may be overheated and become
dangerous
Do not boil eggs in the microwave oven
The eggs will explode because of the build up of pressure within the shell. When
cooking poached or baked eggs, pierce egg yolk with a pointed knife

COOKING UTENSILS
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the microwave oven.
The following chart summarises the proper use of cooking utensils in your oven.
Cooking utensils
Microwave
Heat resistant glass, glass ceramic Yes
Ceramic, china Yes
Metal cookware No
Non resistance glass No
Microwave plastic Yes
Plastic wrap Yes
Paper (cup, plates, towels) Yes
Straw, wicker and wood No
Microwave
1. Most glass, glass ceramic, and heat resistant glassware utensils are excellent. Those with
metal trim should not be used in a microwave oven.
2. Paper napkins, towels, plates, cups, cartons and cardboard can be used in the microwave
oven. Do not use recycled paper products since they may contain impurities which may cause
sparks and / or fires when used in cooking.
3. Plastic dishes, cups, freezer bags, and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven.
Follow the manufacturers instructions or the information given in a microwave cookbook
when using plastics in the microwave oven.
4. Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven.
If the use of aluminium foil, skewers, or utensils containing metal in the oven is specified in
the recipe, allow at least 2.5 cm clearance between the metal object and the interior oven
wall. If arcing (sparks) occurs, remove immediately.
Notes:
Care should be taken when removing utensils or the glass turntable, as they may become
hot during cooking
Only use a thermometer that is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
Ensure the turntable is in place when you operate the oven.
