Food safety
• Do not heat food in a can in the microwave
oven. Always remove the food to a suitable
container.
• Deep fat frying should not be done in the
microwave oven, because the fat temperature
cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can
result.
• Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave
oven, but only in special packages or utensils
designed specifically for this purpose. This
cooking operation should never be unattended.
• Pierce foods with non-porous skins or
membranes to prevent steam build-up and
bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and
egg yolks are examples of items that should
be pierced.
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 hot liquid. To
prevent this possibility the following steps should
be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in
the oven and again halfway through the heating
time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a
short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
• Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers – for example, closed glass
jars – may explode and should not be heated
in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may
explode during cooking. Always pierce the
yolk, then cover and allow the standing time of
one minute before removing cover.
NOTE:
• Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand.
This may cause malfunctioning.
• Arcing in the oven during microwave operation
usually occurs from use of metallic utensils.
Continuous arcing, however, can damage the
unit. Stop the programme and check the
utensil.
• Care should be taken not to obstruct any air
vents located on the top, rear, side and bottom
of the oven.
Do not use this oven for commercial
purposes.
This oven is made for domestic use only.
