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 cont ainers 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.

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

1. Read all instructions before first use.

2. As with most cooking appliances, close
supervision is necessary to reduce the risk
of a fire in the oven cavity.

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:

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 “MEDIUM”. 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.

WARNING

(a) Do not adjust or repair the 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.

SPECIFICATIONS OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN SAFELY

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
