IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When the microwave oven is switched off, please disconnect it from the supply
mains, to do this you must remove the plug from the supply outlet.
The plug shall be the main disconnection device and shall remain accessible at all
times.
The microwave oven cannot be operated with the door open due to the safety
interlocks built into the door mechanism which switch off the cooking functions
when the door is opened. Operating the microwave oven with the door open
could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to
tamper with the door mechanism.
Do not let water or any other liquid enter the oven through the ventilation slots.
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.
Stir any liquid before placing the container back into the microwave oven half way
through the heating time.
After heating, always allow standing time, stir or shake the contents and carefully
check the temperatures before consumption.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door
glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the
glass.
COOKING UTENSILS
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the microwave
oven.
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows
energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may
contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in
corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. But be careful not to use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54 cm)
between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
