WARNING NOTE
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY:
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to
microwave energy.
A. Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the oven with the
door open or to tamper with the safety interlocks (door latches) or to insert anything
into the safety interlock holes.
B. Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or
cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and door
sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use first with a damp cloth and then
with a soft dry cloth.
C. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a qualified
microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is particularly important
that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
1. Door, door seals and sealing surfaces
2. Door hinges (broken or loose)
3. Power cable
D. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check that the following
safety precautions are taken.
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:
• Metalliccontainers
• Dinnerwarewithgoldorsilvertrimmings
• Skewers,forks,etc.
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.
2. DO NOT heat:
• Airtightorvacuum-sealedbottles,jars,containers
Ex) Baby food jars
• Airtightfood.
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.
3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
Reason: The oven walls may be damaged.
Tip: Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times. The water will absorb the
microwaves if you accidentally set the oven going when it is empty.
4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.
Reason: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the oven.
5. ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.
Reason: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred from the
food to the dish.The dishes are therefore hot.
6. DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls.
Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has
finished,even though they do not appear to be so. Do not allow inflammable
materials to come into contact with any interior area of the oven. Let the
oven cool down first.
7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
• Donotstoreammablematerialsintheoven.
• Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags.
• Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.
• If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or disconnect the
oven from the power supply
8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.
• ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been
switched off so that the temperature can equalize.
• Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.
• Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn yourself if the
container is too hot.
• A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.
• To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic spoon
or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.
Reason: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this means
that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed from the
oven. You may scald yourself.

• Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.
• Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn yourself if the
container is too hot.
• A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.
• Intheeventofscalding,followtheseFIRST AID instructions:
•Immersethescaldedareaincoldwaterforatleast10minutes.
•Coverwithaclean,drydressing.
•Donotapplyanycreams,oilsorlotions.
• NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the
top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow
necks may also explode if overheated.
• ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to the baby.
• NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if
overheated.
9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.
• Donotimmersethepowercableorpluginwaterandkeepthepowercable
away from heated surfaces.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.
10. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.
Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.
11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.
Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause paint
damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.
12. You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation (especially when the oven is in
defrosting).
Reason: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.
13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut off
automatically for safety. You can operate normally after letting it stand for over 30
minutes.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
During cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when food is being
heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible
materials.
IMPORTANT
Young children or infirm persons should NEVER be allowed to use or play with the
microwave oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven when it is
in use. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the oven.
WARNING
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has
been repaired by a competent person.
WARNING
It is hazardous for anyone other than a comperent person to carry out any service
or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection
against exposure to microwave energy.
