HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN SAFELY (MICROWAVE)

1.When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to use a wide mouthed container, this will allow air bubbles to escape freely and prevent boiling over. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without the evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.

2.Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty as this will cause damage.

3.Do not deep fry in the microwave oven as the temperature of the oil cannot be controlled and it may overheat.

4.Never completely seal containers in the microwave oven. Coverings are necessary but containers must not be airtight.

5.Small quantities of food with low moisture content or high fat or sugar content can burn, dry out or catch fire if cooked or re-heated too long. Please note that the heating / cooking period required is extremely short: for example it only takes approximately 15 seconds to heat one mince pie or similar.

6.Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane, for example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you don't pierce them steam will build up inside and they may explode.

7.When disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials are used to reheat food, it is advisable to check from time to time during the cooking cycle.

NOTE

It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door, for misting to occur on the door, or even for water droplets to appear below the door during the cooking cycle. This is merely condensation from the heat of the food and does not affect the safety of your oven.The door is not

intended to seal the oven cavity completely but its special SANYO design contributes to the complete safety of the appliance.

ALTHOUGH YOUR OVEN IS PROVIDED WITH SAFETY FEATURES,

IT IS IMPORTANT TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a.Do not tamper with safety interlocks.

b.Do not place any object between the oven and the door or allow any food residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.

c.When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door may cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury.

d.If any damage is apparent, do not operate the oven. Contact your nearest SANYO SERVICE CENTRE.

e.Children may use the appliance only without supervision as long as instructions had been given which enables the child for safe operation and makes the child aware of the dangers of false operation.

OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The following safety precautions should be followed when using this appliance:

1.Read all instructions before first use.

2.When using the grill and / or convection function for the first time, smoke and odour may be given off for a few minutes. This is normal during first operation, and is no cause for alarm.

3.As with most cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary.

If a fire should start:

*Keep the oven door closed.

*Turn the oven off.

*Disconnect the power cord or shut off the power at the mains.

Other important safety points to remember are:

WHEN COOKING BY MICROWAVE:

1.Do not use wire ties in the oven. Be sure to inspect purchased items for wire ties and remove before placing food in the oven.

2.It is important to keep the oven interior clean. Food particles left on the oven walls reduce the efficiency of the microwaves.

3.Do not heat foods or liquids in bottles or jars with lids on. Air must be allowed to escape from the container.

4.Milk or food for babies should be heated on 450W. It should then be stirred thoroughly and tested to ensure that it is at the correct temperature before giving it to the baby.

5.Care must be taken when removing cups of hot liquid from the turntable. Cups should be lifted not slid to the edge of the turntable to prevent tipping.Cups should be placed in the centre of glass tray.

WHEN COOKING BY GRILL / CONVECTION:

1.Take care not to spill water on the glass viewing window during or immediately after cooking as it may crack.

2.Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and unloading the oven. Care should be taken to avoid touching cavity walls inside oven.

3.Be careful not to touch the viewing window when loading or unloading the oven.

4.The top of the cabinet gets very hot, therefore do not place items on the oven. Do not place the oven near combustible materials e.g. curtains, kitchen paper.

5.The grill may cycle on/off during operation.

WARNING

(a)Do not adjust or repair microwave oven yourself. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a service engineer trained by the manufacturer.

(b)It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly qualified engineer trained by the manufacturer to carry out adjustments or repairs.

(c)If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

(d)On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws.

THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.

INSTALLATION

OVEN POSITIONING

2.Do not locate the oven near areas where heat and moisture are generated as this may lower oven efficiency.

3.Covering the air vents may lead to malfunctioning, therefore a minimum clearance of 5cm is required to each side, and to

the rear and 5cm above.

4.This oven conforms to EMC Radio interference Directive 89/336/EEC, however some interference may occur if it is placed too close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as possible.
