SAFETY (continued)
All microwaves are tested and approved in accordance with current
electromagnetic safety and compatibility regulations and standards. As
a precautionary measure, pacemaker manufacturers recommend
wearers to keep a minimum distance of 20-30 cm between an
operating microwave oven and the pacemaker in order to avoid
possible interference with the pacemaker. If you suspect there may be
interference, turn the microwave off immediately and contact the
manufacturer of the pacemaker.
WARNING! (continued)
If you are preparing food or liquid for a baby stir or shake the contents
and check the temperature before consumption in order to avoid
burns.
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since
they are liable to explode.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling;
therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
If you are preparing food or liquid for a baby stir or shake the contents
and check the temperature before consumption in order to avoid
burns.
Never cook or heat eggs in their shell or whole hard boiled eggs, as
they may explode even after cooking in the microwave has been
completed.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed
– see page 10 for details. Failure to maintain the oven and seals in a
clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface or seals,
adversely affect the life of the oven and possibly result in a hazardous
situation.
Never operate the oven when empty
during use.
Do not cover and allow adequate ventilation – see page 6 for
clearance required.
The surfaces of the oven and containers inside will
become hot during and immediately after use; wear
oven gloves when handling.

more often if required. Failure to maintain the oven and seals in a clean
condition could lead to deterioration of the surface or seals, adversely
affect the life of the oven and possibly result in a hazardous situation
(possible release of microwave energy).
1. Switch off, unplug the oven and allow the oven to cool completely.
2. Wipe surfaces and seals with a soft damp cloth (not wet). Do not
use strong detergents or abrasives, as these may scratch or dull the
surface. Do not immerse in water. The appliance shall not be
cleaned with a steam cleaner.

General microwave cooking advice
Food cooking times will vary with microwave wattage (MAFF rating).
When following recipes and on pack cooking instructions always
check the MAFF rating / wattage of the appliance being used
(marked on the front of the microwave) and follow the corresponding
cooking advice.
Beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling; therefore care
must be taken when handling the container.
Remove lids from containers before placing in the microwave, pierce
plastic films and do not use vessels with sealed or restricted
openings since they are liable to explode.
Pierce the skin or membranes of food (e.g. potatoes, apples, fish,
chicken, eggs) in several places before cooking. Never cook or heat
eggs in their shell or whole hard boiled eggs, as they may explode
even after cooking has been completed.
Ensure food is similar size and density. Large dense items take
longer to cook than small ones e.g. potatoes take longer to cook
than peas.
Food quantity will affect the cooking time, e.g. two potatoes take
longer than one.
The shape of food will affect the cooking time; place the thickest part
of food on the outside of the plate.
Leave food to stand for a short period after cooking or defrosting to
allow the temperature to become uniform.
