2You cannot operate your oven with the door open due to the safety interlocks built into the doormechanism. These safety interlocks automatically switch off any cooking activity when the door is opened;which in the case of a microwave oven could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy.It is important not to tamper with the safety interlocks.Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow food or cleaner residue toaccumulate on sealing surfaces.Do not operate your oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly andthat there is no damage to the: (1) door(bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door sealsand sealing surfaces.Your oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.WarningPrecautions to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy.Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as over cooking may result in the FOOD catchingfire and subsequent damage to your oven.When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquidbeyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of thehot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:1. Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.2. Do not overheat.3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stir or shake again carefully and check thetemperature before consumption to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).5. The appliance is not intended for use by children and infirm persons without supervision. Young childrenshould be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.WarningAlways allow food to stand after being cooked by microwaves and check the temperature ofthem before consumption especially contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars.How the Microwave Oven WorksMicrowaves are a form of energy similar to radio and television waves and ordinary daylight. Normally,microwaves spread outwards as they travel through the atmosphere and disappear without effect.Microwave ovens, however, have a magnetron which is designed to make use of the energy in microwaves.Electricity, supplied to the magnetron tube, is used to created microwave energy.These microwaves enter the cooking area through openings inside the oven. A turntable or tray is locatedat the bottom of the oven. Microwaves cannot pass through metal walls of the oven, but they can penetratesuch materials as glass, porcelain and paper, the materials of which microwave-safe cooking dishes areconstructed.Microwaves do not heat cookware, though cooking vessels will eventually get hot from the heat generatedby the food.A very safe applianceYour microwave oven is one of the safest of all home appliances. When the door is opened, theoven automatically stops producing microwaves. Microwave energy is converted completely toheat when it enters food, leaving no “left over” energy to harm you when you eat your food.PRECAUTIONS
