IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

6

Do not mount over sink.

Do not store anything directly on top of the 

appliance surface when the appliance is in 

operation.

Oversized food or oversized metal utensils 

should not be inserted in a microwave oven as 

they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces 

can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts 

involving a risk of electric shock.

Do not store any materials, other than 

manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in 

this oven when not in use.

Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven 

with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the 

oven.

In Case of Fire
If materials inside an oven should ignite:
1. Keep door closed 
2. Turn appliance off
3. Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit 

breaker

Liquids

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be 

overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point 

without appearing to boil. For example, visible bubbling 

or boiling when the container is removed from the 

microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD 

RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING 

OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A 

UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. 
When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in 

the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

CAUTION

Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1 in 

(25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. 

Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside 

of the door.

Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat 

up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable 

ovenware. The different components of the meal may 

not require the same amount of time to heat up.

Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable 

cover for your container, use a plate or special 

microwave foil.

Stir or turn the food several times during cooking. 

Check the temperature.

After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 

5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.

Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when 

removing plates from the oven.

Cooking Items
Eggs: 
Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without 

shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to 

explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. 

Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking 

scrambled eggs is safe.
Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and 

labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven 

corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions 

and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven. 

Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. 

Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven 

unattended..

CAUTION

When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check 

package weight before using the popcorn function. Set 

the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these 

instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop 

adequately or may ignite and cause fire.

Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet 

potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are 

examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of 

foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them 

from exploding.
Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or 

food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of  

food may appear warm while the interior can burn the 

infant’s mouth and esophagus.
Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be 

heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a 

microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough 

for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points 

and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and 

spatter causing possible damage to the oven and 

perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave–safe 

utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of 

the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it 

contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
