To prevent the risk of fire in the oven cavity

1. Do not overcook the ingredients.
2. Remove all metallic seals or wire twists from the ingredients and packing. Electric arc generated on metallic surfaces may cause fire.
3. When heating food placed on plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to possibility of ignition or burning as the materials are flammable.
4. Do not use the appliance to heat up oil or deep-fry as oil temperature may become uncontrollable.

Food residue and grease accumulated may deteriorate the material surface or cause dark smoke or fire. This could adversely affect the life cycle of the appliance and other hazard.
7. If there is smoke or fire during operation, keep the oven door closed in order to stifle any flames; otherwise, air will trigger the fire burning more intensely. Under safe situation, user should stop the operation and disconnect the main power supply immediately.
