specifications or modify the product in
any way.
★ Do not use this appliance if it is in
contact with water.
★ Under no circumstances should live
animals be placed in a microwave oven.
★ Do not use the oven for drying any
items.
★ Do not let the timer continue to
operate after removing the food.
★ No items must be stored in the
microwave oven even when the appliance
is not being used, as inadvertently
switching on the oven could cause a
hazard.
★ Unplug the appliance if it is to be left
for a period of time, e.g. during holidays
or long weekends.
★ Generally speaking, metal should not
be used in the oven when cooking,
because metal reflects microwave energy
and may cause arcing. Even when metal is
used for the limited application (e.g.,
when shielding chicken legs with foil), it
should not come into contact with oven
walls.
★ Do not use capped bottles, jars or tins.
★ Cooking vessels can get very hot. Care
should be taken that the dishes do not
come into contact with any plastic
surface. Wear protective gloves.
★ Only use cooking containers
recommended for use in a microwave
oven.
★ Should you wish to use a browning
dish, we would suggest that a suitable
insulator be placed between the glass tray
and the browning dish in order to prevent
damage by heat stress. A large heat
resistant and microwave proof glass plate
(e.g. PYREX), may be used as an
insulator. It is important that the
recommended preheating time of the dish
must not be exceeded.
★ Do not cook eggs in the shell. Pressure
will build up inside the shell and it will
explode (even after cooking has stopped).
Do not reheat cooked eggs unless they are
scrambled or chopped. Puncture the yolk
before cooking eggs.
★ Do not prepare popcorn in the oven.
The results are poor and it can be
dangerous.
★ Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying.
The temperature of the oil cannot be
controlled and it may overheat.
★ In common with other forms of
heating food, exceeding the
recommended cooking times may result
in burning the oven contents and
damaging your oven. When cooking foods
with a high sugar or fat content (such as:
Christmas pudding, mince pies or fruit
cake), be sure to follow the cooking
instructions carefully.
★ Do not reheat drinks in plastic cups,
they could melt.
★ Do not use a conventional meat
thermometer. They may be used outside
the oven to check temperature but not
during cooking.
★ Be cautious when eating food direct
from the microwave oven as items with
high sugar or fat content can be very hot
inside.
★ Always be careful when removing
cling film and lids from dishes after
cooking as the steam when released can
cause burns.
★ Any foodstuffs with a 'skin', e.g.
potatoes, sausages, etc, must be pierced in
order to allow for the release of steam.
★ Care and cleaning of the appliance are
important. Food deposits should not be
left on the interior cabinet. Do not place
any object between the oven front face
and the door.
★ The door seal is designed to prevent
leakage of microwave energy during
cooking. Occasionally moisture may
appear around the oven door. This is
normal and does not necessarily indicate
the oven is leaking microwave energy.
