Safety Instructions and Precautions 6
GENERAL SAFETY
•
Always use pot holders to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
•
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from
the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of
a dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and
oven cooking bags away from the face.
•
Stay near the microwave oven while it is in use
and check cooking progress frequently so that
there is no chance of overcooking food.
•
Never use the oven cavity for storing cookbooks
or other items.
•
Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of food-
borne bacteria.
•
Keep the waveguide cover clean. Food residue
can cause arcing and fires. Refer to page 43.
•
Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do
not touch the safety door latches.
•
Always have food in the microwave oven when it
is on to absorb the microwave energy.
•
Never use the microwave oven without the
turntable and support. Never turn the turntable
over so that a large dish can be placed in the
oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and
counterclockwise.
•
If the oven light fails, consult Wolf factory certified
service.
•
When using the microwave oven at power levels
below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling
on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the
oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or
reheating.
•
Condensation is a normal part of microwave
cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in
food will influence the amount of moisture that
condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods
will not cause as much condensation as
uncovered ones.
•
The microwave oven is for food preparation only.
It should not be used to dry clothes or newspa-
pers.
•
Your microwave oven is rated 1200 watts by
using the IEC test procedure. In using recipes or
package directions, check food a minute or two
before the minimum time and add time accord-
ingly.
