Safety Precautions

Important Safety Instructions.

Read Carefully and keep for future reference.

Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check that the following safety precautions are taken.

1.DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:

•Metallic containers

•Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings

•Skewers, forks, etc.

Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

2.DO NOT heat:

•Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers Ex) Baby food jars

•Airtight food.

Ex)	Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes
Reason:	The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Tip:	Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

3.DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty. Reason: The oven walls may be damaged.

Tip:	Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times.
	The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the
	oven going when it is empty.

4.DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.

Reason: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the oven.

5.ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.

Reason: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred from the food to the dish. The dishes are therefore hot.

6.DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls.

Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has finished, even though they do not appear to be so. Do not allow inflammable materials to come into contact with any interior area of the oven. Let the oven cool down first.

7.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

•Do not store flammable materials in the oven

•Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags

•Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers

•If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or disconnect the oven from the power supply

8.Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.

•ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.

•Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.

•Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn yourself if the container is too hot.

•A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

•To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.

Reason: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.

•In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:

*Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

*Cover with a clean, dry dressing.

*Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.

•NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.

•ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to the baby.

•NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.

9.Be careful not to damage the power cable.

•Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cable away from heated surfaces.

•Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.

10.Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door. Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.

11.Keep the inside of the oven clean.

Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.
