Safety Notes
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE CONTACT
WITH MICROWAVE ENERGY
• Do not attempt to operate this microwave oven
with an opened door since operating the microwave
oven with an open door can lead to being exposed
to hazardous microwaves. It is important not to
break open or manipulate the safety lock.
• Do not tuck anything between the oven front and
door and ensure that no impurities or residues from
cleaning agents gather on the sealing surfaces.
• Do not operate the microwave oven if damaged.
It is of utmost importance that the door of the oven
closes properly and that there is no damage to:
- the door (bent), - hinges and locks (broken or
loose),
- door seals and sealing surfaces.
Have the appliance re-set or repaired by the listed
customer service branch or respectively qualified
skilled staff only.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
When using electrical appliances elementary
precautionary measures must be adhered to
for your safety, including:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric
shock, fires, injuries or excessive contact with
microwaves:
Read all instructions prior to use.
• Use this appliance only according to its intended
purpose and as directed in this manual. Do not
use any corrosive chemicals or vapours for this
equipment. This type of oven is designed especially
for heating, cooking or drying foods. It is not
designed for industrial use or use in laboratories.
• Do not operate the microwave when empty.
• Do not operate this appliance if damage is visible
to the cable or plugs, if it does not operate properly
or is damaged or has been dropped.
If the power cable is defect it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or his maintenance partner or
similarly qualified skilled staff so as to avoid any
danger.
• WARNING: Allow the unsupervised operation of the
microwave by children only after carefully instructing
them on how to operate the microwave to ensure
the risk-free use of the oven and that children
understand the risks in the event of improper
handling.
• To minimise the risk of fire in the microwave:
Keep an eye on the microwave at all times when
heating food in plastic or paper containers since the
materials may ignite.
• Remove wire closures from paper or plastic bags
before placing them in the microwave.
• Should you notice smoke, switch off the appliance
or disconnect the plug and keep the door closed so
as to suffocate possible flames.
• Do not use the inside of the microwave for storage.
Do not leave paper articles, cooking utensils or food
in the microwave if it is not being used.
• WARNING: Fluids and other food must not be
heated in tightly sealed containers as they may
explode.
When heating beverages in the microwave,
spattering may be delayed if the beverage is brought
to boil. Please handle the container with particular
care.
• Do not deep-fry in the microwave. Hot oil may
damage microwave parts and utensils or even lead
to skin burns.
• Eggs in their shell and hard boiled eggs should not
be heated in the microwave as they may even
explode after microwave heating has been terminated.
• Pierce thick-skinned foods such as potatoes, whole
pumpkins, apples, and chestnuts before cooking.
• The content of baby bottles and baby jars should
be stirred or shaken.
Caution: Prior to consumption check the
temperature in order to avoid life-threatening
burns to the baby.
• Cooking utensils may heat up from the heat exerted
by the food and may have to be handled with an
oven cloth only.
Cooking utensils should be checked as to suitability
for use in microwave ovens.
WARNING: Maintenance and repair work which
requires the removal of the cover which serves as
protection against microwaves endangers the life of
persons other than skilled staff.

BEFORE CONTACTING CUSTOMER SERVICES
If the microwave is not working:
- Verify that the plug is correctly connected to the
outlet. If not, completely disconnect the plug from
the outlet, wait 10 seconds and then reconnect.
- Check if a fuse has blown and if the voltage safety
switch is still on. If both seem to operate correctly,
test the outlet with another appliance.
- Check if the control panel programming is correct
and if the timer has been set.
- Check if the door has been firmly closed, with the
lock of the door engaged, otherwise the generation
of microwaves in the oven is blocked.
If none of the above remedies the problem, contact
the named customer services branch or a qualified
expert. Do not attempt to modify or repair the
appliance independently.
INSTALLATION
Ensure that the packaging materials have been
completely removed from the inside of the door.
WARNING: Inspect the oven for damages such
as a distorted or bent door, damaged door seals
and seal surfaces, defect or loose door hinges and
locks as well as grooves on the inside or on the
door. If there is visible damage, do not operate the
oven and consult a qualified maintenance expert.
• This microwave must be placed on a level, stable
base which can bear the microwave's own weight
plus the heaviest food which most likely will be
cooked in the microwave.
• Do not position the microwave at a location where
heat, dampness or high humidity arise, and do not
place it close to inflammable materials.
• To function properly the oven requires sufficient air
circulation. Allow for 20 cm of space above the
oven, and 10 cm behind, and to the sides 5 cm
respectively.
• Do not cover or block any openings of the appliance.
Do not remove the microwave's feet.
• Do not operate the oven unless the glass turntable,
rotating ring, and drive shaft have been correctly
positioned.
• Check if the power cable is not damaged and does
not lead underneath the oven through or over
a hot or sharp surface. The outlet must be freely
accessible to be able to remove the plug in the
event of an emergency.
• Do not use the oven outdoors.
EARTHING
The present appliance must be earthed. This oven
is equipped with a cable featuring an earth lead with
earth plug. This requires a specially installed and
earthed wall connection. In the event of a short
circuit the earthed connection prevents the risk
of an electric shock via the discharge cable. It is
recommended to use an independent electric circuit
for the oven which supplies the oven only. The use
of high voltage is dangerous and can cause fires and
other accidents which may damage the oven.
WARNING: The improper handling of the earth plug
can lead to the risk of an electric shock.
Note:
If you have any questions regarding earthed
connections or the electric instructions ask an
electric expert or maintenance specialist.
Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept
liability for damage to the oven or for personal injury
resulting from the non-observance of the procedure
for the electrical connections. The wires of this
electric main can be identified according to the follo
wing colour code:
Green and yellow = earth; blue = NEUTRAL
brown = current bearing

Technical Notes
RADIO INTERFERENCE
Operating the microwave can lead to interference
with your radio, television or similar equipment.
In the event of such interference the following
measures can help reduce or eliminate such
interference:
- Clean the door and sealing surface of the oven.
- Redirect the receiving antenna of the radio or
television.
- Place microwave at another place than where
the receiver is.
- Remove the microwave from the receiver.
Plug the microwave into another outlet so that the
microwave and receiver are supplied by a different
leg of the power circuit.
COOKING WITH YOUR MICROWAVE
• Arrange your food with consideration.
• The thickest parts should be close to the edge.
• Observe the cooking time. Select the shortest
cooking time and extend it if need be. Food cooked
excessively long can start smoking and ignite.
• Cover the food while cooking with a lid. The lid will
prevent the food from spattering and contributes
to the even cooking of the food.
• Turn the food during microwave preparation once so
that e.g. chicken or Hamburger dishes are more
quickly cooked.
• Large foods such as roast meat must be turned at
least five times.
• Rearrange food items like meat balls completely
after half of the cooking time has passed by turning
them and rotating those which previously were at
the centre of the dish, to the edge.
GUIDELINE ON COOKING DISHES
The ideal material for a microwave oven is
microwave permeable, i.e. it allows energy to pass
through the container in order to heat the food.
Only use a temperature sensor recommended for
this oven. Microwaves can not permeate metal.
For this reason, do not use metal containers or
metal dishes. Do not use any products made of
recycled paper when heating in the microwave as
they may contain minute metal fragments which
may cause sparks and/or fires. It is recommended
to use round/oval dishes instead of square/oblong
dishes since food caught in the corners may easily
boil away.
The bottom table is a general guideline for choosing
the correct dishes.
