Precautions in the Use of Microwave Ovens for Heating Food

INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE:

A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection confirms all the following items:

1. The grille is not damaged or broken.

2. The door fits squarely and securely and opens and closes smoothly.

3. The door hinges are in good condition.

4. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are neither buckled nor deformed.

5. The door seals are neither covered with food nor have large burn marks.

PRECAUTIONS:

Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can cause harmful effects if the following precautions are not taken:

1. Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking devices on the door.

2. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating.

3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other heavy metal objects in the oven.

4. Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil containers, touch the side of the oven.

5. Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with water and a mild detergent at regular intervals. Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may scratch or scour surfaces around the door.

6. Always use the oven with the trays or cookware recommended by the manufacturer.

7. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e. an absorbing material such as food or water) in the oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the manufacturer’s literature.

8. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy objects such as food containers on the door while it is open.

9. Do not place sealed containers in the microwave ovens. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat are considered to be sealed containers.

10.The appliance is not intended for use by young

children or infirm persons without supervision.

11.Young children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

WARNING

a) The door seals and door seal areas should be

cleaned with a damp cloth.The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas and if these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a service technician trained by the manufacturer.

b) It is dangerous for anyone other than a service

technician trained by the manufacturer to perform repair service.

c) If the supply cord of this appliance is

damaged, it must be replaced by the special cord available only from the manufacturer.

d) Before use, the user should check that utensils

are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

e) Liquids or other foods must not be heated in

General Use

1. For microwave cooking, only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

2. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate the oven when empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

3. If smoke is observed, press the STOP/RESET Pad and leave the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

4. Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in oven.They may catch on fire.

5. Do not use recycled paper products unless the paper product is labelled as safe for microwave oven use.Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used.

6. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.

7. Do not hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may occur.

8. POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from food is transferred to the cooking container and from the container to the Glass Tray. The Glass Tray can be very hot after removing the cooking container from the oven.

9. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven.It could be a fire hazard.

10.

Do not cook food directly on Glass Tray unless indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed in a suitable cooking utensil.)

11.

DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products.DO NOT clean this oven with any product that is labeled as containing corrosive chemicals.The heating of corrosive

chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.

12.

When using the COMBINATION mode, never place any aluminum or metal container directly on the Oven Rack. Always insert a heat-proof, glass plate or dish between the Oven Rack and the aluminum container.This will prevent sparking that may damage the oven.

13.

It is recommended not to use the Oven Rack when cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only.

14.

If Glass Tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.

15.

Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated or cooked in disposal containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as these types of containers ignite if overheated.

Food

1. Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any closed jar.Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the correct canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

2. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.

3. Do not cook eggs in their shell and whole hard boiled eggs in microwave oven (unless otherwise stated in cookbook). Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode.

4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins.This type of food must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.

5. When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling.This could result in a sudden boil over the hot liquid.To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken: a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with

narrow necks. b) Do not overheat. c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in

the oven and again halfway through cooking

time. d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a

short time, stirring again before carefully

removing the container.

6. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT

THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. To check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER.

Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is removed from the oven.If undercooked, return meat or poultry to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. It is important to ensure that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked.

7. COOKING TIMES given in the cookbook are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking time are preferred degree of moisture content, starting temperature, altitude, volume, size, shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.

8. It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times recommended.

9. Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn in a microwave oven. Cook for minimum time as recommended by manufacturer. Use the directions suitable for the wattage of your microwave oven. NEVER leave oven unattended when popping popcorn.

10.

When reheating babies bottles always remove top and teat. Liquid at the top of the bottle will be much hotter than at the bottom and must be shaken thoroughly before checking the temperature. The lid must also be removed from babies food jars, the contents must also be stirred or shaken before the temperature is checked.
