4 Important safety instructions
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
instructions for “Care & cleaning”. 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 your local 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.
Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or allow anyone who is not authorised by
Service Force to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult your dealer or contact your local
Service Force Centre.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord.
The exchange must be made by an authorised Service Force technician.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling
Warning!
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before use. Sealed containers can
explode due to a build up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-mouthed container to allow bubbles to
escape.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has
to be taken when handling the container.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:
1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.
3. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at the end of cooking time to prevent
delayed eruptive boiling.
