You cannot
operate your
oven with the door
open
due to the
safety
interlocks
built into the door mechanism. These
safety
interlocks
automatically
switch off
any
cooking
activity
when the door is
opened;
which in the case of a
microwave oven could result in harmful
exposure
to microwave
energy.
It is
important
not to
tamper
with the
safety
interlocks.
Do not
place any
object
between the oven front face and the door or allow
food or cleaner residue to accumulate on
sealing
surfaces.
Do not
operate your
oven if it is
damaged.
It is
particularly important
that the
oven door closes
properly
and that there is no
damage
to the:
(1) door(bent),
(2)
hinges
and latches
(broken
or
loosened), (3)
door seals and
sealing
surfaces.
Your oven should not be
adjusted
or
repaired by anyone except qualified
service
personnel.
Warning
Precautions to avoid
possible exposure
to excessive microwave
energy.
Precautions
When
heating
liquids,
e.g.
soups,
sauces and
beverages
in
your
microwave
oven,
delayed eruptive
boiling
can occur without evidence of
bubbling.
This
could result in a sudden boil over of the hot
liquid.
To
prevent
this
possibility
the
following
steps
should be taken:
1. Avoid
using straight
sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the
liquid
before
placing
the container in the oven and
again
halfway
through
the
heating
time.
4. After
heating,
allow to stand in the oven for a short
time,
stir or shake
them(especially
the contents of
feeding
bottles and
baby
food
jars) again
carefully
and check the
temperature
of them before
consumption
to avoid
burns
(especially,
contents of
feeding
bottles and
baby
food
jars).
Be careful when
handling
the container.
Warning
Always
allow food to stand after
being
cooked
by
microwaves and check the
temperature
of them
before
consumption. Especially
contents of
feeding
bottles and
baby
food
jars.
Please ensure
cooking
times are
correctly
set as
over
cooking may
result
in
the FOOD
catching
fire
and
subsequent damage
to
your
oven.

How the Microwave Oven Works
Microwaves are a form of
energy
simila r to radio and television wa ves a nd
ordina
ry daylight.
N orma
lly,
microwa ves
spread
outwa rds a s
they
tra vel
through
the a
tmosphere
a nd disa
ppea
r without effect. Microwa ve
ovens,
however,
ha ve a ma
gnetron
which is
designed
to ma ke use of the
energy
in
microwa ves.
Electricity,
supplied
to the
magnetron
tube,
is used to created
microwa ve
energy.
These microwa ves enter the
cooking
a rea
through openings
inside the oven.
A turntable or
tray
is loca ted a t the bottom of the oven. Microwaves ca nnot
pass
through
metal walls of the
oven,
but
they
can
penetrate
such ma terials
a s
gla
ss,
porcela
in a nd
paper,
the ma terials out of which microwave-safe
cooking
dishes a re constructed.
Microwa ves do not heat cookwa
re,
though cooking
vessels will eventua
lly
get
hot from the heat
genera
ted
by
the food.
A
very
safe
appliance
Contents
Your microwave oven is one of the safest of all
home
appliances.
W hen the door is
opened,
the
oven
automatically
stops producing
microwaves.
Microwave
energy
is converted
completely
to heat
when it enters
food,
leaving
no "left over"
energy
to harm
you
when
you
eat
your
food.

Place the oven in the level location of
your
choice with
more than 85cm
height
but make sure there is at least
30cm of
space
on the
top
and 10cm at the rear for
proper
ventilation. The front of the oven should be at least 8cm from the
edge
of the surface to
prevent tipping.
An exhaust outlet is located on
top

Blocking
the outlet can
damage
the oven.
