IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Oversized food or oversized metal utensils should
▯
not be inserted in a microwave 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
appliance when not in use.
Do not cover racks or any other part of the
▯
appliance with metal foil. This will cause
overheating of the appliance.
Do not use paper products when appliance is
▯
operated in the toaster mode.
WARNING
Do not operate gas cooktop burners without pots in
place. The open flame may overheat the microwave
above.
In Case of Fire
If materials inside an appliance 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 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1
inch (25 mm) from the appliance 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 appliance.
Cooking Items
Eggs: Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to
explode, and possibly damage the appliance or cause
injury. Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking
scrambled eggs is safe.
Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave corn
popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers' directions and
use a brand suitable for the wattage of your appliance.
Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped.
Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave appliance
unattended.
CAUTION
When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check
package weight before using the popcorn function. Set
the appliance for the weight of the popcorn package. If
these instructions are not followed, popcorn may not
pop adequately or may ignite and cause fire.
Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are
examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of
foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them
from exploding.
Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or
food in microwave. The glass jar or the surface of food
may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant's
mouth and esophagus.
Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in appliance. Oil
can be heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly
in a microwave. Temperatures can climb high enough
for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points
and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and
spatter causing possible damage to the appliance and
