IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE To avoid the danger of fire The microwave oven should not be left unattended during operation. Power levels that are too high, or cooking times that are too long, may overheat foods resulting in a fire. The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency. Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts. Follow the instructions for “Care & Cleaning”. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink; always check the food temperature. Always stand back from the oven door when opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns. Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play with the oven or use it as a toy.

MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE MICROWAVE COOKING To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware. Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones as the food in the corners tends to overcook. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating. Standing time is necessary after cooking as it enables the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.
