CAUTIONS - READ CAREFULLY

Read carefully and keep for future reference

• The built-in safety switches prevent the microwave oven from operating when the door is open. Do not tamper with
them, or attempt to operate the oven with the door open as open door operation can result in exposure to
microwave energy.

• It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door, (2) hinges
and latches, or (3) door seals and sealing surface.

• Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure to extremely
high voltage.

• Install or locate this microwave oven only in accordance with the installation instructions found in the ‘Installation’
section.

• Do not store the microwave oven outdoors.

• Accessible surfaces of the microwave oven may get HOT while it is operating.

• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumulation door sealing surfaces.

• Failure to maintain the microwave oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface
adversely affecting the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

• This microwave oven is specifically designed for domestic heating, cooking and defrosting food only
must be used as described in this manual. It is not designed for industrial or non domestic use

• Do not use corrosive chemicals in this microwave oven.

• Do not operate the microwave oven empty. If food or water is not present to absorb the microwave energy,
the microwave can be damaged.

• DO NOT use this microwave oven near water, a swimming pool or other wet environment.

• Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in the microwave oven. These items can ignite.

• Do not use the microwave oven cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food
in the cavity when not in use

counters.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons.

• Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This may cause damage to the unit.

• DO NOT use metal utensils during microwave operation as this will cause arcing. Continuous arcing will damage the
unit. Should arcing occur, stop the program and remove the utensil.

• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in the microwave.

• Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents located on the top, rear, side and bottom of the oven.

• During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the unit.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical or sensory
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they don’t play with the appliance
If the door, hinges/latches or door seals are damaged, the microwave oven must not be operated until it has
been repaired by an authorised service person.

2. It is hazardous for anyone except authorised service personnel to carry out any service or repair to this
combination microwave oven, especially if it involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against
exposure to microwave energy.

Power cord and plug

–

–

–

This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This oven is equipped with a power cord having an
earthing wire with an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely understood or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is properly earthed.

Food safety

• Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven as it can explode. Always remove from the can and place in a
suitable container.

• Fat for deep frying should not be heated in the microwave oven, because the fat temperature cannot be controlled,
hazardous situations can result.

• Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven, but only in special packages or utensils designed
specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never be unattended.

• Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes such as apples, potatoes, chicken liver and egg yolk
to prevent steam build-up and bursting.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling; therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, 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 of the hot liquid. To
prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

2. Do not overheat.

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

4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers

For example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs

may explode during cooking.

Always pierce the yolk, then cover and allow the standing time of one minute before removing cover.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before

consumption, in order to avoid burns.
