5 Important safety instructions
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To
cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the
whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in
the microwave oven.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may
explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and
hands to avoid steam burns.
To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay special
attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink;
always check the food temperature.
Always stand back from the oven door when opening to avoid burns from escaping steam
and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the door and accessible parts that may become hot when the grill
is in use. Children should be kept away to prevent them burning themselves.
Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings,
accessories and dishes during GRILL mode, DUAL GRILL mode and AUTO COOK operation as
they will become hot. Before cleaning make sure they are not hot.
To avoid misuse by children

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.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been

Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play with the oven or use it as a toy.
