HOW TO USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY (Important)
Although your oven is provided with safety
features, it is important to observe the following:
1. Do not tamper with safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven and the
door or allow any food residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area
frequently with a mild detergent rinse and wipe dry.
Never use abrasive powders or pads.
3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to
strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened
door may cause the oven to fall forward resulting in
injury.
4. If any damage is apparent, do not operate the oven.
Contact your nearest SANYO SERVICE CENTER.
5.Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are
suitable for use in microwave oven.
6.If smoked is observed, switch off or unplug the appli-
ance and keep door closed in order to stifle any flames.
NOTE
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around
the door, for misting to occur on the door, or even for
water droplets to appear below the door during the
cooking cycle. This is merely condensation from the
heat of the food and does not affect the safety of your
oven.The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity
completely but its special SANYO design contributes
to the complete safety of the appliance.
WARNING
1. Do not heat foods or liquids in bottles or jars with lids
on. Air must be allowed to escape from the container.
2. Milk or food for babies should be heated on POWER
LEVEL 4. It should then be stirred thoroughly and
tested to ensure that it is at the correct temperature
before giving it to the baby.
3. When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to use a
wide mouthed container, this will allow air bubbles to
escape freely and prevent boiling over. Overheating
the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without the
evidence of boiling. This could result in a sudden boil
over of the hot liquid.
4. Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty as
this will cause damage.
5. Do not deep fry in the microwave oven as the
temperature of the oil cannot be controlled and it may
over heat.
6. It is important to keep the oven interior clean. Food
particles left on the oven walls reduce the efficiency
of the microwaves.
7. Never completely seal containers in the microwave
oven. Coverings are necessary but containers must
not be airtight.
8. Do not cook eggs in their shells or reheat hard boiled
eggs in their shells because they will explode.
Puncture the membrane around the yolk
before cooking eggs.This prevents the yolk swelling
faster than the membrane and the egg exploding
when heated quickly.
9. Small quantities of food with low moisture content or
high fat or sugar content can burn, dry out or catch
fire if cooked or re-heated too long.
Please note that the heating/cooking period required
is extremely short: for example it only takes
approximately 15 seconds to heat one mince pie or
similar.
In the unlikely event of a fire occurring, turn off the
oven and its electrical supply, pull out the plug, but
KEEP THE OVEN DOOR CLOSED.
10.Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane ,
for example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausages
etc. If you don't pierce them steam will build up inside
and they may explode.
11. When disposable containers of plastic, paper or other
combustible materials are used to reheat food, it is
advisable to check from time to time during the
cooking cycle.
12.If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must
not be operated until it has been repaired by a com-
petent person.
13.It has hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carryout any service or repair operation
wihch involves the removal of a cover which gives
protection agaisnt exposure to microwave energy.
14.Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling therefore care has to be taken when
handling the container.
15.Feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be open
when heted and the contents are to be sitrred or
shaken, and the temperature is to be checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns.
16.Liauid and other foods must not be heated in sealed
containers since they are liable to explode.
