2. The door fits squarely and securely and opens and closes
smoothly.
3. The door hinges are in good condition.
4. The door does not open more than afew millimetres without
an audible operation of the safety switches.
5. The metal plates of the metat seal on the door are neither
buckled nor deformed.
6. The door seals are neither covered with food nor have large
burn marks.
PRECAUTIONS. Microwave radiation from microwave ovens
can cause harmful effects if the following precautions are not
taken:
1.Never tamper with or inactivate the interlocking devices on
the door.
2. Never poke an object, particularly ametal object, through
the grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is
operating.
3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other heavy
metal objects in the oven.
Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil containers,

and the oven door will get hot during BAKE, COMBINATION,
and GRILL. Use care when opening or closing door and when
inserting or removing food and accessories.

1.Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of
any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode.
In addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at
the correct canning temperature. Improperly canned food may
spoil and be dangerous to consume,
2. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.
3. Do not boil eggs in their shell, (unless otherwise stated in
cookbook section.) Pressure will build up and the eggs will
explode.
4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash and sausages
are examples of foods with nonporous skins. This type of food
must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.
5. Stir liquids several times during heating to avoid eruption of
the liquid from the container, e.g. water, milk or milk based
fluids.
6. DO NOT USE ACONVENTIONAL MEAT
THERMOMETER iN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. To check
the degree of coolcing of roasts and pouitry use a
MiCROWAVE THERMOMETER. Alternatively, aconventional
meat thermometer may be used after the food is removed
from the oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to the
oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended
power level, it is important to ensure that meat and poultry are
thoroughly cooked. (See the cookbook section for further
information.)
7. COOKING TIMES given In the coolcbook section are
APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking time are
preferred degree of moisture content, starting temperature,
altitude, volume, size, shape of food and utensils used. As
you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust
for these factors.
8. It Is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK
foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the
oven for further cooking. If food Is overcooked, nothing can be
done. Always start with minimum cooking times
recommended,
9. Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn.
Cook for minimum time as recommended by manufacturer.
Use the directions suitable for the wattage of your oven.
NEVER leave oven unattended when popping popcorn.
Circuits
Your microwave oven should be operated on aseparate
230/240 V10 Acircuits from other appliances. Failure to do
this may cause the power board fuse to blow, and/or food to
cook slower. Do not insert higher value fuse in the power
board.
