Important Safety Instructions (continued)
Precautions to be taken when using
Microwave Ovens for Heating Foodstuffs
INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE:
A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection
confirms all of the following conditions:
1. The door fits squarely, securely and opens and
closes smoothly.
2. The door hinges are in good condition.
3. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are
neither buckled nor deformed.
4. The door seals are neither covered with food nor
have large burn marks.
PRECAUTIONS:
Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can cause
harmful effects if the following precautions are not
taken:
1. Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking
devices on the door.
2. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object,
between the door and the oven while the oven is
operating.
3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other
heavy metal objects in the oven.
4. Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil
containers, touch the side of the oven.
5. Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with
water and a mild detergent at regular intervals.
Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may
scratch or scour surfaces around the door.
6. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass, since
they can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.
7. Always use the oven with the cookware
recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e., an
absorbing material such as food or water) in the
oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the
manufacturer’s literature.
9. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy
objects such as food containers on the door while
it is open.
10. Do not place sealed containers in the microwave
oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat
are considered to be sealed containers.
11. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
12. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
13. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or repair operation
that involves the removal of a cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.
14. The surfaces are liable to get hot during use.
15. The appliance must not be installed behind a
decorative door in order to avoid overheating.
Practical Hints:
1. For initial use of Grill, Oven, Steam and
Combination, if you see white smoke arise, it is
not a malfunction.
2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the
cabinet and the oven door will get hot during Grill,
Oven, Steam and Combination. Use care when
opening or closing door and when inserting or
removing food and accessory.
3. The oven has heating elements situated in the top
and in the base of the oven. After using the Grill,
Oven, and Combination modes, the ceiling will be
very hot.
Caution! Hot surfaces!
4. During use the appliance becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating elements
inside the oven.
5. The accessible parts may become hot when Grill,
Oven, Steam and Combination is in use. Children
should be kept away.
6. Before using Grill, Oven, and Combination
functions for the first time, operate the oven without
food and accessory on Oven 220 °C for
10 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for
rust protection to be burned off. This is the only
time that the oven is operated completely empty.
Important Instructions
WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric
shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave
energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the microwave
oven.
2. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - (for example, closed glass jars and
sealed baby bottles with teat) - may explode and
should not be heated in the microwave oven.
3. Use this microwave oven only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
4. As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
5. Do not operate this microwave oven, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been damaged or
dropped.
6. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
7. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
8. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
10. 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) Heating therapeutic wheat bags is not
recommended. If heating, do not leave
unattended and follow manufacturers’
instructions carefully.
(c) Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing
bag in oven.
(d) If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep
oven door closed, turn oven off at the wall
switch, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
(e) Never leave microwave unattended while
cooking or reheating.
11. Do not remove outer panel from oven.
12. This appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote
control system.
13. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Circuits
Your microwave ovens should be operated on a
separate circuit from other appliances. The voltage
used must be the same as specified on this microwave
oven. Failure to do this may cause the power board
fuse to blow, and/or food to cook slower. Do not insert
higher value fuse in the power board.
Earthing Instructions
This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This microwave oven is equipped
with a cord having an earthing wire with an earthing
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and earthed.
WARNING—Improper use of the earthing plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
WE CERTIFY THAT THIS MICROWAVE OVEN
HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND COMPLIES WITH
THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATION 3,
SUBCLAUSE(2), OF THE MICROWAVE OVENS
REGULATIONS 1982.
(This statement applicable only to New Zealand.)
We certify that this microwave oven has
been inspected and complies with the safety
requirements of government notice 466 of March
1981, and complies with the Radio Regulation of
government notice 587 of March 1986.
(This statement applicable only to South Africa)
Fan Motor Operation after Cooking
After using this oven, the fan may rotate to cool the
electric components. This is perfectly normal, and
you can take out the food from the oven while the fan
operates.
After using Oven mode, it is recommended to open
the door of the oven to accelerate the cooling down
process and shorten fan running time.
