Important Information
General Use
1. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate the oven
when empty. The microwave energy will reflect continu-
ously throughout the oven if no food or water is
present to absorb energy.
2. If smoke is observed, press the Stop/Reset Button and
leave door closed. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
3. Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in
oven. They may catch on fire.
4. Do not use recycled paper products, as they may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when
used.
5. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.
6. Do not hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may
occur.
7. POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from food is
transferred to the cooking container and from the contain-
er to the glass tray. The glass tray can be very hot after
removing the cooking container from the oven.
8. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in
the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
9. Do not cook food directly on glass tray unless indicated
in recipes. (Food should be placed in a suitable cooking
utensil.)
10. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-
food products. DO NOT clean this oven with any product
that is labeled as containing corrosive chemicals. The
heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause
microwave radiation leaks.
11. If glass tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing
in water.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For
correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow.
Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm at
back and 5 cm on both sides. If one side of the oven is
placed flush to a wall, the other side or top must not be
blocked. Do not remove feet.
(a) Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during
operation, the oven may overheat. If the oven
overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the oven
off. The oven will remain inoperable until it has cooled.
(b) Do not place oven near a hot or damp surface such as
a gas stove, electric range or sink etc.
(c) Do not operate oven when room humidity is too high.
2. This oven was manufactured for household use only.
Food
1. Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of
any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may
explode. In addition, the microwave oven cannot
maintain the food at the correct canning temperature.
Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to
consume.
2. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.
3. Do not boil eggs in their shell (unless otherwise stated
in cookbook). Pressure will build up and the eggs will
explode.
4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash, chicken wings
and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous
skins. This type of food must be pierced before cooking,
to prevent bursting.
5. When heating liquids, e.g. soup. 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 the hot liquid. To pre-
vent 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 cooking time.
(d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short
time, stirring again before carefully removing the con-
tainer.
6. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT
THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. To
check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry use a
MICROWAVE THERMOMETER. Alternatively, a conven-
tional meat thermometer may be used after the food is
removed from the oven. If undercooked, return meat or
poultry to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at
the recommended power level. It is important to ensure
that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked.
7. COOKING TIMES given in the cookbook are
APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking time are
preferred degree of moisture content, starting tempera-
ture, altitude, volume, size, shape of food and utensils
used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be
able to adjust for these factors.
8. It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN
OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can
always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If
food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start
with minimum cooking times recommended.
9. Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn in
a microwave oven. Cook for minimum time as recom-
mended by manufacturer. Use the directions suitable for
the wattage of your microwave oven. NEVER leave oven
unattended when popping popcorn.
10. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check
the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.
11. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to
be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked
before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
