• The microwave oven is intended for
heating food and beverages. Drying of
food or clothing and heating or warming
pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth
and similar may lead to risk of injury,
ignition or fire.
• Ensure all food containers and/or plates
are suitable for use in the microwave
oven. This should be done prior to
preparing food for heating or cooking
in the microwave oven. Monitor foods
and liquids heating or cooking in the
microwave oven at all times due to the
possibility of containers igniting.
• Containers or plates suitable for use
in the microwave oven should not
exceed the width of the glass turntable
as this may impede the rotation of
the turntable and result in food being
unevenly cooked.
• Liquids or other foods must not be
heated in sealed containers since they
are liable to explode.
• Some containers and/or plates may
appear suitable for use in the microwave
oven but may be coated in a glaze that
will absorb the microwave energy,
overheat and cause the container to
crack. The glaze may also prevent the
food from heating/cooking.
• Food and/or liquids should not be heated
or cooked directly on the turntable.
Food and/or liquids must be placed into
a suitable microwave-proof container
before placing onto the glass turntable.
• Food and/or liquids should not be
heated or cooked in plastic or paper
containers or bags, unless specified as
suitable for use by the manufacturer,
due to the possibility of containers
exploding or igniting.
• Metal clips or twist ties should be
removed from the packaging as these
could cause sparking and/or fire.
• Do not use recycled paper or kitchen
paper towelling when cooking. Recycled
paper may contain small metal or other
impurities which could cause sparking
and/or fire.

• Do not use metal containers or utensils
in the microwave oven as these could
cause sparking and/or fire.
• Only use utensils that are suitable for
use in microwave ovens.
• Food grade foil should not be used in
the microwave oven as this could cause
sparking and/or fire.
• Ensure that lids and caps covering
containers are removed prior to
placing liquids and/or foods into
the microwave oven.
• Feeding bottles and baby food jars
should have lids and caps removed
before warming or heating in the
microwave oven. To avoid burns
or scalding after heating, the contents
should be stirred or shaken and the
temperature checked before serving.
• Always ensure the temperature of food
or drink which has been heated or
cooked in the microwave oven has been
tested before eating, drinking or serving
to others, especially children, disabled or
elderly people.
• The heating of liquids and beverages
in the microwave oven can result in
delayed eruptive boiling. Care must be
taken when handling any containers
containing hot liquids or beverages.
• Do not heat popcorn in the microwave
oven unless it has been commercially
packaged for microwave use. There
may be a number of un-popped kernels
that may overcook and burn when
popping popcorn. Do not use oil unless
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not pop popcorn longer than the
manufacturer's instructions (popping
time should not exceed 3 minutes).
Longer cooking could cause scorching
or fire.
• Do not cook any food surrounded by a
membrane (such as potatoes, chicken
liver, egg yolks, oysters, etc) without first
piercing the membrane several times
with a fork or similar utensils.
