Although your oven is provided with safety features,
it is important to observe the following:

It is important not to interfere or tamp& with safety in-
terlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front face
and the door or allow residue to accumulate on door
sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequent-
ly with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use
abrasive powders or pads.
When opened, the door must not be subjected to
strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened
door or any load could cause the oven to fall fordard,
weight could also damage the door.
Do not operate the oven i? it is damaged, until it has
been repaired by a service engineer trained by
SANYO. It is particularly important that the oven
closes properly and that it is inspected to ensure that
there is no damage to the:
i) Door (bent)
ii) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened)
iii) Door seals and Sealing surfaces
It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly quali-
fied service engineer trained by SANYO to carry out
adjustments or repairs.
Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture
content or high fat or sugar content can burn, dry out
or catch on fire if cooked or re-heated too long.
Please note that the heating/cooking period required
is extremely short: for example it only takes approxi-
mately 15 seconds to heat one mince pie or similar.
In the unlikely event of a fire occurring, turn off the
oven and its electrical supply, pull out the plug, but
keep the oven door closed.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
SANYO SERVICE CENTRE, as a special prepared
N~E
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the
door, for misting to occur on the door, or even for
water droplets to appear below the door during the
cooking cycle.
This is merely condensation from the heat of the food
and does not affect the safety of your oven.
The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity com-
pletely but its special SANYO design contributes to
the complete safety of the appliance.

Do not heat food or liquids in bottles or jars with lids
on.
Air must be allowed to escape from the container. Do
not warm babies bottles in the microwave oven with
screw top lids or teats in place.
Milk or food for babies should be heated on SIMMER.
It should then be stirred thoroughly and the milk or
food should be tested to ensure that it is at the correct
temperature before giving it to the baby.
When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to use a
wide necked container. This will allow air bubbles to
escape freely. Should a narrow necked container be
used, air bubbles may combine to form a large bubble
which may in turn cause the liquid to boil over. This
may happen even after the cooking time has stopped.
Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty as
this will cause damage.
As an exhaust is located in the rear of the oven, install
the oven so as not to block the outlet.
Do not deep fry in the microwave oven as the temper-
ature of oil cannot be controlled and it may overheat.
Always remove contents from cans to microproof
container for reheating.
It is important to keep the oven interior clean. Food
particles or spatters left on the oven walls reduce the
efficiency of the microwaves.
Never completely seal containers in the microwave
oven. Coverings are necessary but containers must
not be airtight.
