Microwave Ovens for Heating
foodstuffs
INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE
A microwave oven should only be used if an
inspection confirms all of the following conditions:
1. The grille is not damaged or broken.
2. The door fits squarely and securely and opens
and closes smoothly.
3. The door hinges are in good condition.
4. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are
neither buckled nor deformed.
5. The door seals are neither covered with food nor
have large burn marks.
PRECAUTIONS
Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can
cause harmful effects if the following precautions are
not taken:
1. Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking
devices on the door.
2. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object,
through a grill or between the door and the oven
while the oven is operating.
3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other
heavy metal objects in the oven.
4. Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil
containers, touch the side of the oven.
5. Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with
water and a mild detergent at regular intervals.
Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may
scratch or scour surfaces around the door.
6. Always use the oven with the trays or cookware
recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e. an
absorbing material such as food or water) in the
oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the
manufacturer’s literature.
8. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy
objects such as food containers on the door while
it is open.
9. Do not place sealed containers in microwave
ovens. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a
teat are considered to be sealed containers.
10.The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
11.Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
PRACTICAL HINTS
1. Before using CONVECTION, COMBINATION or
GRILL function for the first time, wipe excessive
oil off in oven cavity and operate the oven without
food on Grill 1 for 20 minutes. This will allow the
oil that is used for protection to be burned off.
2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the
cabinet and the oven door will get hot during
CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL.
Use care when opening or closing door and when
inserting or removing food and accessories.
