SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
13. When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven
due to the possibility of ignition.
14. The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars shall be stirred or
shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption, in order
to avoid burns.
15. Always test the temperature of food
or drink which has been heated in a
microwave oven before you give it to
somebody, especially to children or
elderly people. This is important
because things which have been
heated in a microwave oven carry on
getting hotter even though the
microwave oven cooking has
stopped.
16. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-
boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may
explode, even after microwave
heating has ended;
17. Keep the waveguide cover clean at
all times. Wipe the oven interior with a
soft damp cloth after each use. If you
leave grease or fat anywhere in the
cavity it may overheat, smoke or even
catch fire when next using the oven.
18. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as
you cannot control the temperature
and doing so may lead to overheating
and fire.
19. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea
are able to be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appearing to be
boiling due to surface tension of the
liquid. 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 A SPOON
OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to
persons:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and
halfway through heating it
c) Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
d) After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a
short time before removing the
container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the
container.
20. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
21. Only use utensils that are suitable for
use in microwave ovens.
22. Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.
