protection against exposure to microwave energy.
Only use utensils suitable for use in microwave ovens
-Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles
-Do not use anything with metal trim.
-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 cook in a container with a restricted opening,
such as a carbonated drinks bottle or salad oil bottle,
as they may explode if heated in a microwave oven.
-Do not use conventional meat or sugar
thermometers.
-Remove twist-ties from bags before placing bags in

Instruction Manual | 9
Always have the glass tray, roller arms, coupling and roller
track in place when operating the microwave oven.
Do not use the oven for any reason other than food
preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other
non-food items, or for sterilizing purposes.
Do not operate the microwave or combination cooking
functions when empty. This could damage the oven.
Do not insert any object into the openings on the case.
Do not at any time remove parts from the oven such as the
feet, coupling, screws, etc.
Do not cook food directly on the glass turntable. Place
food in/on proper cooking utensils before placing in the
oven.
Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in the oven.
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, the food/liquid
inside will be releasing the same amount of steam and/or
spitting when the lid is removed as in conventional
cooking.
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.

10 | Instruction Manual
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
minimise the risk of eruptive boiling when a spoon is
placed in the food / liquid or a stock cube is added.
When preparing/cooking food/liquid 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.
Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat
transferred from the food. This is especially true if plastic
wrap has been covering the top and handles of the
utensils. Oven gloves may be needed to handle the
utensils.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
-Do not overcook food.
-Watch the microwave oven carefully if paper, plastic,
or other combustible materials are used inside the
oven during cooking.
