HOW TO USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY (Important)
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:
1.Do not tamper with safety interlocks.
2.Do not place any object between the oven and the door or allow any food residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequently with a mild detergent rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
3.When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door may cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury.
4.If any damage is apparent, do not operate the oven. Contact your nearest SANYO SERVICE CENTER.
5.Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave oven.
6.If smoked is observed, switch off or unplug the appli- ance and keep door closed in order to stifle any flames.
NOTE
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around
the door, for misting to occur on the door, or even for water droplets to appear below the door during the cooking cycle. This is merely condensation from the heat of the food and does not affect the safety of your oven.The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity completely but its special SANYO design contributes to the complete safety of the appliance.
WARNING
1.Do not heat foods or liquids in bottles or jars with lids on. Air must be allowed to escape from the container.
2.Milk or food for babies should be heated on POWER LEVEL 4. It should then be stirred thoroughly and tested to ensure that it is at the correct temperature before giving it to the baby.
3.When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to use a wide mouthed container, this will allow air bubbles to escape freely and prevent boiling over. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without the evidence of boiling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
4.Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty as this will cause damage.
5.Do not deep fry in the microwave oven as the temperature of the oil cannot be controlled and it may over heat.
6.It is important to keep the oven interior clean. Food particles left on the oven walls reduce the efficiency of the microwaves.
7.Never completely seal containers in the microwave oven. Coverings are necessary but containers must not be airtight.
8.Do not cook eggs in their shells or reheat hard boiled eggs in their shells because they will explode. Puncture the membrane around the yolk
before cooking eggs.This prevents the yolk swelling faster than the membrane and the egg exploding when heated quickly.
9.Small quantities of food with low moisture content or high fat or sugar content can burn, dry out or catch fire if cooked or
Please note that the heating/cooking period required is extremely short: for example it only takes approximately 15 seconds to heat one mince pie or similar.
In the unlikely event of a fire occurring, turn off the oven and its electrical supply, pull out the plug, but
KEEP THE OVEN DOOR CLOSED.
10.Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane , for example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you don't pierce them steam will build up inside and they may explode.
11.When disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials are used to reheat food, it is advisable to check from time to time during the cooking cycle.
12.If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a com- petent person.
13.It has hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carryout any service or repair operation wihch involves the removal of a cover which gives protection agaisnt exposure to microwave energy.
14.Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.
15.Feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be open when heted and the contents are to be sitrred or shaken, and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
16.Liauid and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
