SPECIAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR
MICROWAVE
OVEN
•Wipe the oven cavity with
a soft, damp cloth after
each use. Leaving food
residue, grease or fat in
the cavity could cause the
microwave oven cavity to
overheat and may cause
the microwave oven to
smoke or catch fire.
•The microwave oven
should be cleaned
regularly and any food
splattering inside the
cavity should be removed.
Failure to maintain the
microwave oven in a
clean condition could
lead to deterioration of
the surface, adversely
affecting the life of the
microwave oven and
possibly resulting in a
hazardous situation.
•If the door seals or any
of the microwave oven is
damaged, the microwave
oven must not be
operated until it has been
inspected and/or repaired
at an authorised Breville
Service Centre.
•The microwave oven is
intended for heating food
and beverages. Drying
of food or clothing and
heating of warming pads,
slippers, sponges, damp
cloth and similar may lead
to risk of injury, ignition
or fire.

7
•Ensure all food containers
and/or plates are suitable
for use in the microwave
oven. This should be done
prior to preparing food
for heating or cooking
in the microwave oven.
Monitor foods and liquids
heating or cooking in
the microwave oven
at all times due to the
possibility of containers
igniting.
•Containers or plates
suitable for use in the
microwave oven should
not exceed the width of
the glass turntable as
this may impede the
rotation of the turntable
and result in food being
unevenly cooked.
•Liquids or other foods
must not be heated in
sealed containers since
they are liable to explode.
•Some containers and/
or plates may appear
suitable for use in the
microwave oven but may
be coated in a glaze that
will absorb the microwave
energy, overheat and
cause the container to
crack. The glaze may also
prevent the food from
heating/cooking.
•Food and/or liquids
should not be heated or
cooked directly on the
turntable. Food and/or
liquids must be placed
into a suitable microwave-
proof container before
placing onto the glass
turntable.
•Food and/or liquids
should not be heated or
cooked in plastic or paper
containers or bags, unless
specified as suitable for
use by the manufacturer,
due to the possibility of
containers exploding
or igniting.

8
•Metal clips or twist ties
should be removed from
the packaging as these
could cause sparking and/
or fire.
•Do not use recycled paper
or kitchen paper towelling
when cooking. Recycled
paper may contain small
metal or other impurities
which could cause
sparking and/or fire.
•Do not use metal
containers or utensils
in the microwave oven
as these could cause
sparking and/or fire.
•Only use utensils that
are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
•Food grade foil should not
be used in the microwave
oven as this could cause
sparking and/or fire.
•Ensure that lids and caps
covering containers are
removed prior to
placing liquids and/or
foods into the
microwave oven.
•Feeding bottles and baby
food jars should have
lids and caps removed
before warming or
heating in the microwave
oven. To avoid burns or
scalding after heating,
the contents should be
stirred or shaken and the
temperature checked
before serving.
•Always ensure the
temperature of food or
drink which has been
heated or cooked in the
microwave oven has
been tested before eating,
drinking or serving to
others, especially children,
disabled or elderly people.
•The heating of liquids
and beverages in the
microwave oven can
result in delayed eruptive
boiling. Care must be
taken when handling any
containers containing hot
liquids or beverages.

9
•Do not heat popcorn
in the microwave oven
unless it has been
commercially packaged
for microwave use. There
may be a number of
un-popped kernels that
may overcook and burn
when popping popcorn.
Do not use oil unless
recommended by the
manufacturer. Do not
pop popcorn longer
than the manufacturer’s
instructions (popping
time should not exceed
3 minutes). Longer
cooking could cause
scorching or fire.
•Do not cook any
food surrounded by
a membrane (such as
potatoes, chicken liver,
egg yolks, oysters, etc)
without first piercing the
membrane several times
with a fork or similar
utensils.
•Fresh eggs in the shell and
whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be cooked or
heated in the microwave
oven as they may explode
during cooking, at the
end of cooking or after
removing from the
microwave oven.
•Do not heat oil or fat for
shallow or deep frying
in the microwave oven.
Doing so may cause the
microwave oven and/or
the oil to overheat and/or
ignite.
•If any smoke is observed,
switch off and unplug the
microwave oven at the
power outlet. Keep the
door closed to stifle
any flames.

10
•Do not attempt to operate
the microwave oven by
any method other than
those described in this
instruction book.
•Do not disconnect the
microwave oven from the
power supply by pulling
on the cord to unplug
from the power outlet.
•When storing the
microwave oven loosely
wind the cord. Do not
wrap the cord around the
microwave oven.
•Only use the temperature
probe recommended or
supplied together with
this microwave oven. This
is only applicable if the
appliance has the facility
to use a temperature
sensing probe.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate
the oven with the door
open since open-door
operation can result in
harmful exposure to
microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat
or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
Do not place any object
between the oven front
face and the door or allow
soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing
surfaces.
Liquids and other foods
must not be heated in
sealed containers since
they are liable to explode.
