SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
13. The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars shall be stirred or
shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption, in
order to avoid burns.
14. Always test the temperature of food
or drink which has been heated in a
microwave oven before you give it to
somebody, especially to children or
elderly people. This is important
because things which have been
heated in a microwave oven carry on
getting hotter even though the
microwave oven cooking has
stopped.
15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-
boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may
explode, even after microwave
heating has ended;
16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at
all times. Wipe the oven interior with
a soft damp cloth after each use. If
you leave grease or fat anywhere in
the cavity it may overheat, smoke or
even catch fire when next using the
oven.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying
as you cannot control the
temperature and doing so may lead
to overheating and fire.
18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea
are able to be overheated beyond
the boiling point without appearing to
be boiling due to surface tension of
the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling
when the container is removed from
the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN
VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY
BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON
OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to
persons:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and
halfway through heating it
c) Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
d) After heating, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven for
a short time before removing the
container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting
a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
19. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
20. Only use utensils that are suitable for
use in microwave ovens.
21. Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.
