other than food preparation, such
as for drying clothes, paper, or any
other nonfood items, or for sterilizing
purposes.
3. Do not operate the oven when
empty. This could damage the oven.

Safety Instructions For General Use
Do not use melamine dishes as they
contain a material which will absorb
microwave energy. This may cause
the dishes to crack or char and will
slow down the cooking speed.
Do not use Centura Tableware. The
glaze is not suitable for microwave
use. Corelle Livingware closed handle
cups should not be used.
Do not cook in a container with a
restricted opening, such as a pop
bottle or salad oil bottle, as they may
explode if heated in a microwave
oven.
Do not use conventional meat or
candy thermometers. There are the
thermometers available specifically for
microwave cooking. These may be
used.
10. Microwave utensils should be
used only in accordance with
manufacturer’s instructions.
11. Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in
this oven.
12. Please remember that a microwave
oven only heats the liquid in a
container rather than the container
itself. Therefore, even though the lid
of a container is not hot to the touch
when removed from the oven, please
remember that the food/liquid inside
will be releasing the same amount of
steam and/or spitting when the lid is
removed as in conventional cooking.
EN

13. Always test the temperature of
cooked food yourself especially if
you are heating or cooking food/
liquid for babies. It is advisable never
to consume food/liquid straight from
the oven but allow it to stand for a
few minutes and stir food/ liquid to
distribute heat evenly.
14. Food containing a mixture of fat and
water, e.g. stock, should stand for
30-60 seconds in the oven after it
has been turned off. This is to allow
the mixture to settle and to prevent
bubbling when a spoon is placed
in the food/liquid or a stock cube is
added.
15. When preparing/cooking food/liquid
and remember that there are certain
foods, e.g. Christmas puddings, jam
and mincemeat, which heat up very
quickly. When heating or cooking
foods with a high fat or sugar content
do not use plastic containers.
16. Cooking utensil may become hot
because of heat transferred from the
heated food. This is especially true
if plastic wrap has been covering
the top and handles of the utensil.
Potholders may be needed to handle
the utensil.
17. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity:
(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully
attend microwave oven if paper,
plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven
to facilitate cooking.
(b) Remove wire twist-ties from bags
before placing bag in oven.
(c) If materials inside the oven should
ignite, keep oven door closed, turn
the oven off at the wall switch, or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
