2.1 Sources of danger

2.1.1 Danger of burns

Warning

caso M25

8

Getting

Started

The culinary items being heated up in this device as well as
the cookware that being used and the surface of the device
can become very hot.

Please observe the following safety notices in order not to burn
or scald yourself or others.

► When grilling with or without operating the microwave, the

cooking chamber, the grill element and the device door will

become hot!
► Use oven mitts when sliding in or removing items that are

being browned as well while foods/cookware are being

handled within the cooking chamber, whenever the grill is

switched on or just before it is switched on.
► Do not use the oven for deep-frying. Hot oil can damage

parts of the oven and the cookware and cause burns.

Warning

► Please bear in mind that the foods and liquids in the device

are mainly being heated when the microwave is in operation,

and not the container itself. Although the lid of a container is

not hot, the same amount of steam and spills can be created

on removing the lid as in a conventional cooking process

when you remove it from the device.
► Always check the temperature of the cooked food, especially

if you are heating up foods or liquids for babies. It is

advisable never to consume foods or liquids, directly after

they come out of the device. Wait a few minutes and stir the

food or liquid, to allow the heat to be distributed evenly.
► With certain foods, there is a danger of burns due to

superheating. With foods consisting of a mixture of fat and

water, such as broth, wait about 30 to 60 seconds before

removing the food from the device. This will allow the

mixture to settle. Thus, you avoid sudden bubbling up when

a spoon is inserted into the food or the liquid or after adding

a stock cube.

In order to prevent superheating, you can also place a metal

spoon into the cooking vessel prior to cooking. However,

bear in mind that the spoon must not make contact with any

parts of the device walls or the grill, as this could result in

damages to the device.

2.1.2 Danger of fire

Warning

caso M25

9

Getting Started

There is a danger of fire due to the ignition of the content in
the event the device is not used properly.

Observe the following safety notices to avoid dangers of fire:
► Please bear in mind that the times for cooking, heating up,

defrosting using the device are frequently considerably

shorter than on a stove top or in the oven.

Leaving the device on for too long will result in foods drying

out and eventually self-igniting. There is then a danger of

fire!

The danger of fire is also present if bread, rolls, flowers or

herbs are being dried for too long.

Warning

► Do not warm up pillows or similar items filled with grains,

cherry pits or gel.

These items can ignite, even if they are removed out of the

device after they are warmed up.

► Do not warm up any alcohol in an undiluted state.
► Never the leave the device unsupervised if you are warming

up or cooking foods in disposable containers made

of

plastic,

paper or other flammable materials.

Disposable containers made of plastic must have the

properties shown under the heading “Notices on

microwave cookware”.
► Switch off the device or disconnect the power plug and keep

the door closed if you discover smoke, to smother

the

flames.
► Never use the device to store or dry flammable materials.

2.1.3 Danger of explosion

Warning

There is a danger of explosion due to excess pressure that
is created in the event the device is not used properly.

Observe the following safety notices to avoid dangers of an
explosion:

► Never warm up foods or liquids in sealed containers or

bottles.

► Remove the sealing caps and nipples on baby bottles.
► Do not use dishes with hollow handles and buttons on lids

for cooking in which liquid can get inside the voids if these

voids are not sufficiently vented.

Getting Started

caso M25

10

► Do not cook eggs in the shell or extremely hard boiled eggs

in the device as they can still explode, even after the

microwave operation has been completed.
► Remove twisted wire closures on paper or plastic bags so

that no excessive pressure can develop.

2.1.4 Dangers due to electrical power

Danger

Mortal danger due to electrical power!
Mortal danger exists when coming into contact with live wires or

subassemblies!
Observe the following safety notices to avoid dangers due to

electrical power:
► If the connection lead is damaged, you will need to have a

special connection lead installed by an authorized

electrician.
► Do not operate this device if its power cable or plug is

damaged, if it does not work properly or if it is damaged or

has been dropped. If the power cable is damaged, it will

need to be replaced by the manufacturer or his service

agency or a similar qualified person, to avoid any dangers.
► Do not open the housing on the device under any

circumstances. There is a danger of an electrical shock if

live connections are touched and the electrical or

mechanical structure is altered. In addition, functional faults

on the device can also occur.

3 Installation Manual

At CASO, we design our products with customer safety in mind. When using electrical
appliances such as this microwave oven, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

• Remove and safely discard any packing materials and promotional labels
before using the microwave for the first time.

• Packing materials are not toys. To reduce the risk of suffocation, remove and
safely discard the protective cover fitted to the power plug of this appliance.

• Do not place the microwave near the edge of a bench or table during operation.
Ensure the operating surface is stable, level, clean and dry.

Getting Started

caso M25

• Always operate the microwave on a heat-resistant surface. Do not use on a
cloth-covered surface, near curtains or other flammable materials.

• Always use extreme caution when removing any of the accessories or disposing
of hot grease. Allow the microwave to cool before handling.

• A fire may occur if the microwave comes in contact with flammable material
such as curtains, drapes, walls, etc., when in operation.

• Do not place the microwave on or near a hot surface such as a hot burner or
oven.

• Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.

• To protect against electrocution do not immerse the microwave, power cord or
plug in water or other liquid.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Some parts of the appliance, cookware or food can
become very hot. To prevent personal injury, always use pot holders, or
handles and knobs when applicable, when handling. Allow the microwave to
cool before handling.

• Extreme caution must be used when removing cookware and accessories.

• The glass of the microwave door has been specially treated to make it stronger
and safer than ordinary glass, however it is not unbreakable. If struck extremely
hard, it may break or weaken, and could at a later time, shatter without apparent
cause.

• The top of the microwave can become very hot during and after operation. Do
not store any item on top of the microwave.

• Do not place cardboard, plastic, paper, or other flammable materials that aren’t
labeled as microwave safe in the microwave.

• Caution should be exercised when using lids in the microwave, as pressure
build up in a covered pan or dish may damage cookware or cause hot
ingredients to leak or splatter.

• Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be put in the microwave as they may
present a fire or electrocution risk.

• Metal utensils such as knives should not be used to remove food residue from

the microwave’s interior. This can damage the microwave and presents an
electrocution risk.

caso M25

18

Getting

Started

► Please observe the following guidelines when selecting

microwavable cookware:

► Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. Therefore, you should

not use cookware made of metal or with metal trim.

► For microwave cooking, do not use any products made from

recycled paper, as they could contain tiny metal fragments,
which could spark and/or cause a fire.

► Use round or oval cookware instead of square or rectangular

cookware. Food can overcook in corners.
