3-1
1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation,
such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items or
for sterilizing purposes.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as
papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure
it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you
cook food sealed in bottles.
6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door.
It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may
contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when
used during cooking.
8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved
popcorn popper or unless it's commercially packaged and
recommended especially for microwave ovens. Microwave
popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping;
there will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil
unless specified by the manufacturer.
9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg
yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first piercing them
several times with a fork.
10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's directions.
(popping time is generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking
does not yield more popped corn, it can cause scorchings and
fire. Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or
may break.
11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and
keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye
on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
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. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the
container.
General Use
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high performance from this oven:
TO AVOID EXPLOSION AND SUDDEN BOILIING
1. Eggs
Never cook eggs in their shells. Steam will build up inside the
shell during cooking and the egg will explode.
If you want to cook or reheat eggs which have not been broken
up by scrambling or mixing, you must always pierce the yolks
or these will also explode. You should slice shelled hard boiled
eggs before you reheat them in your microwave oven.
2. Piercing
Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane, for
example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you
don't pierce them, steam will build up inside and they may
explode.
3. Lids
Always remove the lids of jars and containers and take away
food containers, before you cook using your microwave oven. If
you don't, then steam and pressure might build up inside and
cause an explosion even after the microwave cooking has
stopped.
WARNING
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages
in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond
boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling:
This could result in a sudden boil over of the not liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps should be
taken:
a. Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.
b. Do not overheat.
c. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven
and again halfway through the heating time.
d. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time,
stir or shake them again carefully and check the
temperature of them before consumption to avoid burns
(especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).
