Steps to take care of new microwave ovens
Most ovens should follow standard safety regulations, and there ought to be a label
posted to the oven guaranteeing this. As a general safety guide, follow these basic rules.
Don’t switch on an empty microwave oven; if there’s no food to absorb the waves, they bounce back to the magnetron and will shorten its life.
Don’t operate the Panasonic microwave ovens by opening and closing the door as this could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy; always use the controls.
You shouldn’t mess with the safety locks.
Do not place objects between the oven front face and the door.
Don’t ever let spilled food accumulate round the door, as this will stop a tight seal from forming when the door is shut.
Don’t use the oven if it becomes broken, and never try to repair it yourself; always call a qualified engineer.
Don’t use an abrasive cleaner on the inside of the oven as it could scratch the metallic walls. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners too, as these may absorb into the internal surface.
Simply wipe the oven over with a cloth wrung out in soapy water and rinse with a clean cloth. Any persistant odors can be dispelled by heating a cup of lemon juice and water in the oven.
The Panasonic microwave oven door is fitted with a special seal to ensure minimum Panasonic microwave leakage.
Every oven has at least one cut-out device enclosed in the door so that the energy is automatically switched off when the door is ajar and cooking can’t take place with your hand in the oven.
