SPECIAL NOTES
(a) Do not operate the oven empty except in convection mode. The appliance should not be operated
without food in the oven, operation in this manner being likely to damage the appliance.
(b) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the oven door open, in case the safety door switches have
been damaged.
(c) Do not attempt to operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the
oven.
(d) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly
and that there is no damage to:
(1) Door (warped), (2) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door Seals and Sealing Surfaces.
(e) It is dangerous for this oven to be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a properly qualified service
technician trained by manufacturer.
(f) The turntable supporting plate is removable and should be set in the right place and the turntable should
be seated on it.
(g) Do not block the ventilation opening of the oven.
FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
(a) Generally speaking, metal should not be used in the oven when cooking, because metal reflects micro-
wave energy and may cause arcing. Even when metal may be used for limited application it should
not come into contact with oven walls.
(b) Do not cook eggs in the shell. Pressure will build up inside the shell and they will explode (even after
cooking has stopped). Do not reheat cooked eggs unless they are scrambled or chopped. Puncture
the yolk before cooking eggs.
(c) Popcorn should be cooked only in special microwave poppers carefully following manufacturer’s recom-
mendations. Do not pop popcorn in paper bags or glass utensils. The results are poor and it can be
dangerous.
(d) Do not place cans of food in the oven (Ref. (a) above).
(e) Donot heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled and it may overheat.
(f) When boiling water or liquids in the oven, make sure that you employ a wide mouthed container. This
will allow forming air bubbles to escape freely and readily to the surface of the water. Should a nar-
row mouthed container be employed, air bubbles may combine to form a large bubble (inside the con-
tainer) which may displace the water upwards when trying to escape to the surface (even after cooking
has stopped). The hot liquid displaced could, accidentally, harm the oven user.
(g) If you cook liquids in glasses or cups it is advisable to use a glass rod or something similar to avoid
delay in boiling (splashing or burning may occur).
(h) Occasionally some foods will cause the oven to ‘’sweat’’. The humidity and moisture in food will in-
fluence the amount of moisture in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much conden-
sation as uncovered foods. Be sure that the vent is not blocked. Condensation is a normal part of
microwave cooking.
(i) The door seal is designed to prevent leakage of microwave energy during cooking. Occasionally moisture
may appear around the oven door. This is not abnormal and does not necessarily indicate the »ven
is leaking microwave energy. .
(j} When cooking foods with a high sugar or fat content e.g. christmas pudding, mince pies, fruit cake,
be sure to follow the cooking instructions carefully, since exceeding the recommended cooking times
‘may result in burning the oven contents and damaging your oven.
(k) Always remove tight fitting lids or seals from containers before heating or cooking in the microwave
oven. (e.g. Baby Bottles, Jars, Take-Away Food Containers) Pressure will build up inside the conain-
er thus leading to an explosion, even after cooking has stopped.
(1) Don’t keep food or anything inside the oven even while it is not used.
FOR CONVECTION, DUAL AND GRILL COOKING
(a) Refer to the chapter on recommended cooking utensils in your cookbook for available utensils,
(b) During dual cooking additional metal utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact with the
turntable, oven walls or accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when mic ro-
waves come in contact with metal. Place a heat resistant dish (Pyrex pie plate, glass pizza dish or
dinner plate) between the metal dish and the low rack. If arcing occurs with other metal utensils,dlis-
continue their use for dual cooking.
(c) The door glass reaches high temperatures during grill operation, convection operation and dual ope ra-
tion mode.
Therefor this device must be placed, or if built-in-condition mounted, at a minimum of 80 cm (botom
side of the device) above the floor. Children have to be kept away from it.
