INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE
A microwave oven should only be used if an
inspection confirms all of the following conditions:
 . The door 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:
 . Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking
devices on the door .
2 . Never poke an object, particularly a metal object,
through a grille 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 .

ovens . Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a
teat are considered to be sealed containers .
