How the Microwave Function Works

Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio, television waves, and ordinary daylight. Normally, microwaves spread outwards as they travel through the atmosphere and disappear without effect. This oven, however, has a magnetron that is designed to make use of the energy in microwaves. Electricity, supplied to the magnetron tube, is used to create microwave energy.

These microwaves enter the cooking area through openings inside the oven. A tray is located inside 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.

This symbol will alert you to hazards or unsafe practices which could cause bodily injury or property damage.

WARNING

1. Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, door seals, control panel, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven which would involve the removal of any cover protecting against exposure to microwave energy. Do not operate the oven if the door seals and adjacent parts of the microwave oven are faulty. Repairs should only be undertaken by a qualified service technician.

Unlike other appliances, the microwave oven is a high-voltage and a high- electrical-current piece of equipment. Improper use or repair could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy or in electric shock.

2. Do not use the oven for the purpose of dehumidification. (ex. Operating the microwave oven with wet newspapers, clothes, toys, electric devices, pet or child etc.)

It can be the cause of serious damage to safety such as a fire, a burn or a sudden death due to an electric shock.

3. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or elderly persons. 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.

Improper use may cause damage such as a fire, electric shock or burn.

4. Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.

They may get a burn.

5. Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. Remove the plastic wrapping from food before cooking or defrosting. Note though that in some cases food should be covered with plastic film, for heating or cooking.

Please keep for future reference. Read and follow all instructions before using your oven to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or damage when using the oven. This guide does not cover all possible conditions that may occur. Always contact your service agent or manufacturer about problems that you do not understand.

Important Safety

Instructions

CAUTION

1. You cannot operate your oven with the door open due to the safety interlocks built into the door mechanism. It is important not to tamper with the safety interlocks.

It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy. (Safety

interlocks automatically switch off any cooking activity when the door is

opened.)

2. Do not place any object (such as kitchen towels, napkins, etc.) between the oven front face and the door or allow food or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.

3. 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.

It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.

4. Please ensure cooking times are correctly set, Small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating time.

Over cooking may result in the food catching on fire and subsequent

damage to your oven.

5. When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven,

*Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.

*Do not overheat.

*Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.

*After heating, let it stand in the oven for a short time; stir or shake it again carefully and check the temperature of it before consuming to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).

Be careful when handling the container. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling without evidence of bubbling.

This could result in hot liquids suddenly boiling over.

6. An exhaust outlet is located on the top, bottom or side of the oven. Don't block the outlet.

It could result in damage to your oven and poor cooking results.
