are unsure of the meanings of these warnings contact the John Lewis branch from which you purchased the

To Avoid The Danger Of Fire
The microwave oven should not be left unattended
during operation. Power levels that are too high or
cooking times that are too long may overheat foods
resulting in a fire.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the
unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If food being heated begins to smoke, DO NOT
OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and unplug the oven and
wait until the food has stopped smoking. Opening the
door while food is smoking may cause a fire.
Only use microwave-safe containers and utensils,
See Page 17.
Do not leave the oven unattended when using
disposable plastic, paper or other combustible food
containers.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity and the
turntable after use. These must be dry and free from
grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to
smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food and
food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep-frying.
The temperature cannot be controlled and the oil may catch
fire.
To make popcorn, only use special microwave popcorn
makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure the oven
is operating as desired.
See the corresponding hints in the cookery book section.
To Avoid The Possibility Of
Injury
WARNING:
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or
malfunctioning. Check the following before use:
a) The door; make sure the door closes properly and
ensure it is not misaligned or warped.
b) The hinges and door safety latches; check to make
sure they are not broken or loose.
c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that they
have not been damaged.
d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure
there are no dents.
e) The power supply cord and plug; ensure that they are
not damaged.
Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is
hazardous for anyone other than a competent person
to carry out any service or repair operation which
involves the removal of a cover which gives protection
against exposure to microwave energy.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the
door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the
door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door
seals and adjacent parts. Follow the instructions for
“Care and Cleaning” on page 21. Failure to maintain
the oven in a clean condition could lead to a
deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect
the life of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their
doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for precautions
regarding microwave ovens.
To Avoid The Possibility Of
Electric Shock
Under no circumstances should you remove the outer cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock openings
or ventilation openings. In the event of a spill, turn off and
unplug the oven immediately and call an authorised Service
Force Centre.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in water or
any other liquid.
Do not allow the power supply cord to run over any hot or
sharp surfaces, such as the hot air vent area at the top rear of
the oven.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit
before cooking, or they may explode.
To Avoid The Possibility Of
Burns
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the
oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking
bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns.
