Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
1. The door seals and door seal areas should be
cleaned with a damp cloth.
2. The appliance should be inspected for damage
to the door seals and door seal areas and if
these areas are damaged the appliance should
not be operated until it has been repaired by
service technician trained by the manufacturer.
3. It is dangerous for anyone other than a service
technician trained by the manufacturer to perform
repair service.
4. If smoke is observed, press Stop/Reset pad and
keep door closed. Disconnect the power cord, or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.
5. If the 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.
6. Before use, the user should check that utensils
are suitable for use in the microwave ovens.
7. When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and
beverages in your microwave oven, overheating
the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without
evidence of bubbling. This could result in a
sudden boil over the hot liquid. To prevent this
possibility the following steps should be taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in
the oven and again halfway through cooking
time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a
short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
8. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
check the oven frequently due to the possibility of
ignition.
9. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food
jars are to be stired or shaken.
The temperature has to be checked before
consumption to avoid burns.
10. Liquids or other foods must not be heated in
sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
11. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode.
12. Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handling the container.
13. Only allow children to use the oven without
supervision when adequate instructions have
been given so that the child is able to use the
oven in a safe way and understands the hazards
of improper use.
