Chapter 1 - General; Important Safety Warnings - Kenwood Microwave Oven User Manual

1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

Read carefully these instructions and keep for future reference.
N.B. This oven has been designed to defrost, heat and cook food in the home. It must never be used for
other purposes, modified or tampered with in any way. This microwave oven is not designed for use in a
kitchen unit or flush mounted.
1) WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been
repaired by a competent person (trained by the manufacturer or by its Customer Service).
2) WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair
operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave
energy.
3) WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode. 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.
4) WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should
be kept away. Do not allow the appliance to be used by persons (including
children) with psychological, physical or sensory impairments, or with
inadequate experience or knowledge, unless closely supervised and instructed
by someone responsible for their safety who can ensure they are aware of the
dangers associated with inappropriate use. Children must be supervised to
ensure they do not play with the appliance.
5) WARNING: When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children
should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures
generated.
6) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the
safety devices.
7) Do not operate the oven if objects for any kind get stuck between the front panel
of the oven and the door. Always keep the inside of the door (E) clean, using a
damp cloth and non-abrasive detergents. Do not allow dirt or remains of food
to accumulate between the front panel of the oven on the door.
8) The following warnings must be considered when the door is open: Do not place
heavy object on the door or pull the handle downwards any further as the
appliance may tip over. Never place hot containers or pans (e.g. just taken off
the stove) on the door.
9) Do not operate the oven if the supply cable or the plug is damaged, as this may
result in electric shocks. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid
a hazard.
10) If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE DOOR
CLOSED in order to stifle any flames.
11) Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. In order to avoid
overheating and the consequent risk of fire, it is advisable to supervise the oven
when cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, cardboard or other
inflammable materials, and when heating small quantities of food.
12) Never place the turntable in water after it has ben heated for a long time. The
high thermal shock resulting would break the turntable.
13) When cooking "Only MICROWAVE" and "COMBINED WITH MICROWAVE" ,
you absolutely must not pre-heat the oven (without foodstuffs in it) and you must
not operate it when it is empty, because you might cause sparking.
14) Before using this oven, check to be certain that the utensil and containers chosen
are suitable for microwave oven use (see the section on "Glassware and Similar
Items").
