Safety Precautions

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. (a) Under no circumstancesshould any attemptbemade tooperatethe oven with

the door open ortotamperwith the safety interlocks(doorlatches) or to insert anything into the safety interlock holes.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or

cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and door sealing surfaces are kept clean bywipingafterusefirstwith a damp cloth and then with a soft dry cloth.

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces (2) Door hinges (broken or loose) (3) Power cable

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Important Safety Instructions. Read Carefully and keep for future reference. Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check

that the following safety precautions are taken.

1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:

• Metallic containers

• Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings

• Skewers, forks, etc. Reason:

2. DO NOT heat:

• Airtight or vacuum-sealedbottles,jars,containers

• Airtightfood. Reason:

Tip:

3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty. Reason: Tip:

4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper. Reason:

5. ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven. Reason:

Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

Ex) Baby food jars Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes

The increase in pressure may cause them to explode. Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

Theovenwallsmaybedamaged. Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times. The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the oven going when it is empty.

The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the oven.

Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred from the food to the dish. The dishes are therefore hot.

6. DO NOT touch interior oven walls.

Reason:

These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has finished, even though they do not appear to be so. Do not allow inflammable materials to comeintocontactwith any interior area of the oven. Let the oven cool down first.

Safety Precautions(continued)

7. Toreducetheriskoffireintheovencavity:

• Do not store flammable materials in the oven

• Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags

• Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

• If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or disconnect the oven from the power supply

8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.

• ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.

• Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn yourself if the container is too hot.

• A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

• To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating. Reason:

• In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions: * Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

* Cover with a clean, dry dressing. * Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.

• NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.

• ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to the baby.

• NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.

During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.

13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut off automatically for safety. You can operate normally after letting it stand for over 30 minutes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

10. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door. Reason:

11. Keep the inside of the oven clean. Reason:

12. You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven is in defrosting). Reason

The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.

Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.

: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.
