9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE Cooking Safety CAUTION To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following: ▯ Do not leave oven unattended while in use. ▯ Do not store flammable material next to or in the oven. ▯ When flaming foods under the microwave, always turn the fan on. ▯ Do not operate the oven while empty. This could damage the oven and result in a risk of fire. ▯ Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury. ▯ Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking. Fire could result. ▯ Do not use recycled paper products unless labeled safe for microwave use. They may contain impurities which may cause sparks and result in fires when used. ▯ Always use potholders when removing items from the oven. The cooking container and the glass tray can be hot even if the oven is cool. ▯ Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off. ▯ 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 break 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. ▯ Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in the toaster mode. 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 inch (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.
