BUILDING-IN the IM30SE3DQG,06(
The IM30SE3 and IM30SE4 can be built in with stainless trim kit to surround the microwave
oven,
matching trim to kitchen doors or simply placed in an opening in the kitchen furniture.
Proper airflow must be present around the microwave oven in any of these installations.
Building in the microwave oven above an oven requires an additional vertical piece
of board (A) to ensure the heat from the oven does not mix with the microwave oven
generated heat as this could cause damage to the microwave oven.
NB: The microwave oven is not to be installed under bench unless optimum airflow
around the microwave oven can be guaranteed to eliminate the risk of overheating.
The IM30ST3 trim kit is supplied with detailed built-in instructions and fixings.

9. IMPORTANT-COOKWARE NOT TO USE IN YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN
Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
Do not use anything with metal trim.
Do not use paper covered wire twist-ties on plastic bags.
Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a material
which will absorb microwave energy. This may cause
the dishes to crack or char and will slow down the
cooking speed.
Do not use Centura Tableware. The glaze is not suitable
for microwave use. Corelle Livingware closed handle
cups should not be used.
Do not cook in a container with a restricted opening,
such as a pop bottle or salad oil bottle, as they may
explode if heated in a microwave oven.
Do not use conventional meat or candy thermometers.
There are the thermometers available specifically for
microwave cooking. These may be used.
10. Microwave utensils should be used only in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
11. Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in this oven.
12. Please remember that a microwave oven only
heats the liquid in a container rather than the
container itself.Therefore, even though the lid
of a container is not hot to the touch when
removed from the oven, please remember that
the food/liquid inside will be releasing the same
amount of steam and/or spitting when the lid is
removed as in conventional cooking.
13. Always test the temperature of cooked food
yourself especially if you are heating or cooking
food/liquid for babies. It is advisable never to
consume food/liquid straight from the oven but
allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir food/
liquid to distribute heat evenly.
14. Food containing a mixture of fat and water,
e.g.stock,should stand for 30-60 seconds in the
oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow
the mixture to settle and to prevent bubbling when
a spoon is placed in the food/liquid or a stock cube
is added.
15. When preparing/cooking food/liquid and remember
that there are certain foods, e.g. Christmas
puddings, jam and mincemeat, which heat up very
quickly. When heating or cooking foods with a high
fat or sugar content do not use plastic containers.
16. Cooking utensil may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. This is especially
true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and
handles of the utensil. Potholders may be needed
to handle the utensil.
17.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
(a)Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave
oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
(b)Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing
bag in oven.
(c)If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven
door closed, turn the oven off at the wall switch, or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
