Melissa 253-001 - Manual (Page 18)

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
- Do not operate the oven empty in the microwave mode. Either food or water should always be in the oven during
operation to absorb microwave energy.
- Limit use of metal to those specific examples given in the utensil section of your cookbook. Generally, metal
should not be used during operation of microwave mode alone.
- Do not cook eggs in the shell. Pressure will build up inside the shell and it will explode. Do not reheat cooked eggs
unless they are scrambled or chopped. Puncture the egg yolk before cooking eggs.
- Avoid canning in the microwave oven; harmful bacteria may not be destroyed.
- Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying.
- Pierce the "skin" of potatoes, whole squash, apples or any fruit with a skin covering before cooking.
- Do not use paper towers, plates or other utensils made from recycled paper for microwave cooking.
Recycled paper products may contain impurities that could cause the paper to ignite during microwave
cooking.
Precautions to avoid possible exposure to microwave energy.
- Do not attempt to operate this oven by circumventing the safety devices or tampering with the interlocks in an
attempt to use the oven with the door open. Open door operation can result in exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat or tamper in any way with the safety interlocks of the door mechanism. Your unit will not
work with the door open. Were the safety features to be over ridden, this could result in harmful exposure to
microwave energy.
- Do not Place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate
on sealing surfaces.
- Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that
there is no damage to the door (if it has been bent), hinges and latches (broken or loosened), door seals and
sealing surface.
- The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
- Vent opening on the side of the microwave oven - may never be blocked!
