9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
6
▯ Oversized food or oversized metal utensils
should not be inserted in a microwave oven as
they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
▯ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
can break off the pad and touch electrical parts
involving a risk of electric shock.
▯ Do not store any materials, other than
manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in
this oven when not in use.
▯ Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven
with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the
oven.
▯ Do not use paper products when appliance is
operated in the toaster mode
WARNING
Do not operate gas cooktop burners without pots in
place. The open flame may overheat the microwave oven
above.
In Case of Fire
If materials inside an oven should ignite:
1. Keep door closed
2. Turn appliance off
3. Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit
breaker
Liquids
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be
overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to boil. For example, 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in
the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
CAUTION
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1 in
(25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside
of the door.
▯ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat
up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable
ovenware. The different components of the meal may
not require the same amount of time to heat up.
▯ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable
cover for your container, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
▯ Stir or turn the food several times during cooking.
Check the temperature.
▯ After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
▯ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the oven.
Cooking Items
Eggs: Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to
explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury.
Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking
scrambled eggs is safe.
Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven
corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions
and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven.
Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped.
Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven
unattended.
CAUTION
When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check
package weight before using the popcorn function. Set
the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these
instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop
adequately or may ignite and cause fire.
Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are
examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of
foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them
from exploding.
Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or
food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of
food may appear warm while the interior can burn the
infant’s mouth and esophagus.
