Do not defrost or heat food at too high a power or for
too long if the food has a low water content, e.g.
bread. Risk of fire
Never use the microwave to heat cooking oil on its
own. Risk of fire
Do not place baking trays on the microwave floor. Do
not line the microwave floor with aluminium foil.
This causes heat to accumulate. Baking and roasting
times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be
damaged.
Never pour water directly into a hot microwave. This
could damage the enamel.
Do not place too much on the universal pan when
baking very moist fruit cakes. Fruit juice dripping from
the universal pan leaves stains that cannot be
removed.
Only leave the microwave oven to cool with the door
closed. Do not allow anything to become trapped in
the microwave oven door. The fronts of adjacent units
may be damaged over time even if you only leave the
microwave oven door open slightly.
If the oven door seal is very dirty, the door will no
longer close properly when the microwave is in
operation. The front of adjacent units could be
damaged. Keep the seal clean.
Do not stand or sit on the microwave oven door.
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
inside. The microwave could be overloaded if it is
switched on without any food inside. An exception to
this rule is for shortĆterm testing of ovenware (see
notes on ovenware).
