Precautions
Precautions to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy.
GB |
|
You cannot operate your oven with the door open due to the safety interlocks |
|
|
built into the door mechanism. These safety interlocks automatically switch off |
|
|
any cooking activity when the door is opened; which in the case of a |
|
|
microwave oven could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. |
|
|
It is important not to tamper with the safety interlocks. |
|
|
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow |
|
|
food or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. |
|
|
Do not operate your oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the |
|
|
oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door(bent), |
|
|
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing |
|
|
surfaces. |
|
|
Your oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified |
|
|
service personnel. |
|
|
Warning |
|
|
|
|
|
Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as |
|
|
over cooking may result in the FOOD catching fire |
|
|
and subsequent damage to your oven. |
|
|
|
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, delayed eruptive boiling can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.
2Do not overheat.
3Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stir or shake them(especially the contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars) again carefully and check the temperature of them before consumption to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).
Be careful when handling the container.
Warning
Always allow food to stand after being cooked by microwaves and check the temperature of them before consumption. Especially contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars.

How the Microwave Oven Works
Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio and television waves and ordinary daylight. Normally, microwaves spread outwards as they travel through the atmosphere and disappear without effect. Microwave ovens, however, have a magnetron which is designed to make use of the energy in microwaves. Electricity, supplied to the magnetron tube, is used to created microwave energy.
These microwaves enter the cooking area through openings inside the oven. A turntable or tray is located at the bottom of the oven. Microwaves cannot pass through metal walls of the oven, but they can penetrate such materials as glass, porcelain and paper, the materials out of which microwave-safe cooking dishes are constructed.
Microwaves do not heat cookware, though cooking vessels will eventually get hot from the heat generated by the food.
A very safe appliance
Your microwave oven is one of the safest of all home appliances. When the door is opened, the oven automatically stops producing microwaves. Microwave energy is converted completely to heat when it enters food, leaving no “left over” energy to harm you when you eat your food.
