IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
1. Please read the instructions carefully before using any appliance.
2. Always ensure that the voltage on the rating label corresponds to the mains
voltage in your home.
3. Incorrect operation and improper use can damage the appliance and cause
injury to the user.
4. The appliance is intended for household use only. Commercial use invalids the
warranty and the supplier can not be held responsible for injury or damage
caused when using the appliance for any other purpose than that intended.
5. Avoid any contact with moving parts.
6. Close supervision is required when any appliance is used near or by children or
invalids.
7. Check the power cord and plug regularly for any damage. If the cord or the
plug is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person
in order to avoid an electrical hazard.
8. Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. In
case of damage, take the unit in for examination and/or repair by an authorised
service agent
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse or expose the motor
assembly, plug or the power cord to water or any other liquid.
10. Never immerse the unit in water or any other liquid for cleaning purposes.
11. Remove the plug from the socket by gripping the plug. Do not pull on the cord

use, before cleaning or when adding or removing parts.
12. The use of accessory attachments that are not recommended or supplied by
the manufacturer may result in injuries, fire or electric shock.

13. A short cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
14. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. Ensure that the
cord is not in a position where it can be pulled on inadvertently.
15. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces and do not place on or near a hot
gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
16. Do not use the appliance on a gas or electric cooking top or over or near an
open flame.
17. Use of an extension cord with this appliance is not recommended. However, if
it is necessary to use an extension lead, ensure that the lead is suited to the
power consumption of the appliance to avoid overheating of the extension cord,
appliance or plug point. Do not place the extension cord in a position where it
can be pulled on by children or animals or tripped over.
18. This appliance is not suitable for outdoor use. Do not use this appliance for
anything other than its intended use.
19. DO NOT carry the appliance by the power cord.
20. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use. Always unplug the unit
when not in use or before cleaning.
21. Always operate the appliance on a smooth, even, stable surface. Do not place
the unit on a hot surface.
22. The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for any damage or injury
caused by improper or incorrect use, or for repairs carried out by unauthorised
personnel.
23. In case of technical problems, switch off the machine and do not attempt to
repair it yourself. Return the appliance to an authorised service facility for
examination, adjustment or repair. Always insist on the use of original spare
parts. Failure to comply with the above mentioned pre-cautions and instructions,
could affect the safe operation of this machine.
24. Do not operate the microwave with the door open. Do not tamper with
safety interlocks. Do not place anything between the oven front and the door,
and do not allow this space to become soiled. If the door seals are damaged in
any way, do not use the microwave. Take the unit directly to your nearest
service agent.
25. Ensure the microwave is cleaned regularly and that all food deposits are
removed.
26. Do not place any metal objects in the microwave. These will damage the
microwave and will deem the warranty void.
27. Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from any paper or plastic containers
before placing them in the microwave.
28. When using plastic, ceramic or glass containers in the microwave, ensure that
the containers are microwave safe. Some plastics are not microwave safe, and
will melt in the microwave. Glass or ceramic containers not suitable for
microwave use may crack.
29. Always beware when heating liquids in the microwave. Liquids may become
superheated and this results in eruptive boiling when the container is moved. It
is suggested that a wooden spoon or mixing stick be placed in the container to
prevent the eruptive boiling.
30. Always ensure that the glass tray is not restricted, and is placed on the
turntable ring assembly and turntable shaft correctly.

31. Do not position the microwave above a conventional oven or other heat-
producing appliance. This will damage the unit and the warranty will be void.
32. Use of the microwave may cause television and radio interference. The further
the microwave is from these appliances, the less the interference will be.
TIPS FOR USING YOUR MICROWAVE
• Only use utensils suitable for use in microwaves. These would be plastic and
microwave safe wooden utensils. Do not place any metal utensils in the
microwave.
• Do not place whole eggs in the microwave. These will superheat, and could
explode.
• Do not heat liquids or food in sealed containers.
• Food cooks more evenly if it is stirred regularly during cooking.
• Large bones in meat may cause the meat to cook unevenly. To prevent this,
remove the bones before cooking.
• To prevent food from becoming soggy in the microwave, wrap them in paper
towels before cooking. This can be used to make potato chips crispy as well.
• Certain foods that have thick skins, such as potatoes and tomatoes, trap steam
underneath the skins during cooking. This can be prevented by piercing the skins
with a fork before cooking.
• Cover foods when cooking. This will prevent splattering and will help the food to
cook evenly.
• Use the shortest time possible to cook. Over-cooking may cause the food to
smoke and ignite.
• Place food and dishes in the centre of the microwave for the best cooking results.
Put the thicker parts of the food towards the outside edge of the cooking dish.
