Microwave Oven Specifications

• 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 spattering 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.

• If the door seals or any of the Microwave
Oven is damaged, the Microwave Oven
must not be operated until it has been
inspected and/or repaired at an authorised
Kambrook Service Centre.

• The Microwave Oven is intended for heating
food and beverages. Drying of food or
clothing and heating or warming pads,
slippers, sponges, damp cloth 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.
Monitor foods and liquids heating or cooking
in the Microwave Oven at all times due to
the possibility of containers igniting.

• Containers or plates suitable for use in the
Microwave Oven should not exceed the
width of the glass turntable as this may
impede the rotation of the turntable and
result in food being unevenly cooked.

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

• 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.

• Food and/or liquids should not be heated
or cooked directly on the turntable. Food
and/or liquids 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 kitchen paper
towelling 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.

• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
Microwave Ovens.

• 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 to
others, especially children, disabled or
elderly people.

• The heating of liquids and beverages in
the Microwave Oven can result in delayed
eruptive boiling. Care must be taken when
handling any containers containing hot
liquids or beverages.

• Do not heat popcorn in the Microwave
Oven unless it has been commercially
packaged for microwave use. There may be
a number of un-popped kernels that may
overcook and burn when popping popcorn.
Do not use oil unless recommended by
the manufacturer. Do not pop popcorn
longer than the manufacturer’s instructions
(popping time should not exceed 3 minutes).
Longer cooking could cause scorching
or fire.

• 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 utensils.
