Important when using your microwave oven
Do not heat, store or use flammable
materials in or near the oven. Fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this
manual.
Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapours in this appliance. This
type of oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
Do not use your microwave oven for
cooking or reheating whole eggs with or
without shell since they may explode.
Do not over-cook food. Fire could result.
Do not use your microwave oven for drying
textiles, paper, spices, herbs, wood, flowers,
fruit or other combustible materials. Fire
could result.
Do not leave the oven unattended, especially when using
paper, plastic or other combustible materials in the cooking
process. Paper can char or burn, and some plastics can melt if
used when heating foods. As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when used by children.
If material inside the oven should ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn the oven off and
disconnect the power cord or shut off power
at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in the oven.
When heating liquids, e.g. beverages or water 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 hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and let
the teaspoon remain in the container.
3. After heating, allow to stand for a short time, stirring again
before carefully removing the container from the oven.
WARNING!
Do not use your microwave oven for
heating food or liquids in airtight sealed
containers. The pressure increases and
may cause damage when opening or may
explode.
Some foods which have a low water content e.g. oil, chocolate
and some pastries with sweet fillings, must be heated carefully.
Do not use your microwave oven for deep frying, because you
cannot control the oil temperature.
One of the major advantages of microwave ovens is the short
cooking time. Therefore, do not exceed recommended times for
cooking or re-heating food.
Always refer to a microwave cookbook for details, especially if
cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol.
After heating baby food or liquids in a
baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always
stir and check the temperature before
serving. This will ensure that the heat is
evenly distributed and the risk of scalding
or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat are removed
before heating!
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not
heat containers, but the hot food does.
Use oven mitts when touching containers,
oven parts, and pan after cooking to prevent
burns.
