Important Note
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
◆ WARNING ◆
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 Precautions
Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check that the following safety
precautions are taken.
1DO 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.
2DO 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.
3DO NOT cover the rear ventilation ducts with cloths or paper.
Reason: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is expelled from the oven.
4ALWAYS 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.
5To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
◆Do not store flammable 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
6Be 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.
7Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.
Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.
8Keep the inside of the oven clean.
◆Clean the inside of the oven after each use with a mild detergent solution, but let the microwave oven cool down
before cleaning in order to avoid injury.
Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or top can cause damage to the ceiling cover and
reduce the efficiency of the oven.
9“Clicking” sound might be noticed while operating, especially at defrosting mode.
Reason: When the power output is changing electrically, you may hear this sound. This is normal.

Safety Precautions (continued)
◆ WARNING ◆
DO NOT heat:
◆Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers
Example: Baby food jars
◆Airtight food - Food with skins
Example: Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.
◆ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 30 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the temperature
to equalize.
◆Stir during heating if necessary and ALWAYS stir after heating.
◆To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should stir before, during, and after heating.
◆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.
◆ During microwave heating of beverages, there are results in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has
to be taken when handling the container.
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 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.

Cookware Guide
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being
reflected or absorbed by the dish used.
Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwave-safe,
you do not need to worry.
The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used
in a microwave oven.
Cookware Microwave-Safe Comments
Aluminium foil ✔ ✘ Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against
overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the
oven wall or if too much foil is used.
Browning plate ✔Do not preheat for more than three minutes.
China and earthenware ✔Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are
usually suitable, unless decorated with a metal trim.
Disposable polyester ✔Some frozen foods are packaged in these dishes.
cardboard dishes
Fast-food packaging
•Polystyrene cups and ✔Can be used to warm food. Overheating may cause the
containers polystyrene to melt.
•Paper bags or newspaper ✘May catch fire.
•Recycled paper or metal trims ✘May cause arcing.
Glassware
•Oven-to-tableware ✔Can be used, unless decorated with a metal trim.
•Fine glassware ✔Can be used to warm foods or liquids. Delicate glass may
break or crack if heated suddenly.
•Glass jars ✔Must remove the lid. Suitable for warming only.
Metal
•Dishes ✘May cause arcing or fire.
•Freezer bag twist ties ✘
Paper
•Plates, cups, napkins and ✔For short cooking times and warming. Also to absorb excess

plastics may warp or discolour at high temperatures. Do not
use Melamine plastic.
•Cling film ✔Can be used to retain moisture. Should not touch the food.
Take care when removing the film as hot steam will escape.
•Freezer bags ✔ ✘ Only if boilable or oven-proof. Should not be airtight. Prick
with a fork, if necessary.
