READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
• The built-in safety interlock switches prevent
the microwave oven from operating when the
door is open.
• Do not tamper with them, or attempt to
operate the oven with the door open as open
door operation can result in exposure to
microwave energy.
• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to
accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the
Cleaning and Care section for cleaning
instructions.
• It is particularly important that the oven door
closes properly and that there is no damage
to the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and
latches (broken or insecure), (3) door seals
and sealing surface.
• If the door, hinges/latches or door seals
are damaged, the microwave must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a
authorized service person.
• It is hazardous for anyone except factory
trained service personnel to service or
make adjustments to this oven. Contact
your nearest authorised service agent if
service should be required.
• Do not remove the outer case, door or control
panel at any time. Doing so may cause
exposure to extremely high voltage.
• Install or locate this oven only in accordance
with ‘installation instructions’ found in this
manual.
• Use the appliance for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven
is specifically designed to heat, cook, or
defrost food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use neither for commercial use as
this will invalidate the guarantee.
• Do not operate the oven empty. If food or
water is not present to absorb the microwave
energy, the magnetron tube can be damaged.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not
use this product near water.
• Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers
in the microwave oven. These items can
ignite.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils,
or food in the cavity when not in use.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces may
be high when the appliance is operating.
• If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug
the appliance and keep the door closed in
order to stifle any flames. Never use water.
• Only allow children or infirm persons to
use the microwave, without supervision,
when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child or infirm person is
able to use the microwave in a safe way
and understand the hazards of improper
use.
Utensil safety
• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in a
microwave oven.
• Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant
glass-ware utensils are excellent for use in the
micro-wave oven. Although microwave energy will
not heat most glass and ceramic items, these
utensils can become hot as heat transfers from
the food to the container. The use of oven gloves
to remove dishes is recommended.
Testing suitability of cookware
• Utensils should be checked to ensure they are
suitable for use in Microwave Ovens.
• Place the cookware in the microwave along with a
glass half full of water. Heat on (800W) (100%) for
one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should
not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it
for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is
room temperature, it is suitable for microwave
cooking.
