• Your appliance is designed exclusively for the domestic purposes of defrosting, heating or cooking
foods. The manufacturer bears no responsibility in the case of improper usage.
• Before use, make sure that the containers are appropriate for microwave usage (e.g.: heat resistant glass, porcelain, etc.) and are non-metallic.
• To avoid deterioration of your microwave oven, never operate it without food or liquid in it or
without the turntable.
• Never tamper with the lock mechanism of your microwave oven; you could cause damage
requiring repair by an authorised technician.
• Be sure to watch closely when heating or cooking foods in disposable plastic or paper containers
or any other combustible material, due to fire hazard.
• It is not advisable to use metal recipients, forks, spoons, knives, metal ties or staples for deepfreeze bags.
• It is advisable to use an oven glove to handle dishes.
• For baby food and children’s food, it is essential :
- to remove the teat before heating up baby bottles, shake the contents and test
the temperature on the back of your hand before feeding.
- to stir and verify the temperature of children’s foods before serving to avoid causing
serious internal burns.
• WARNING
: Do not allow children to use the microwave oven without supervision unless they
have been thoroughly instructed in the proper use and the dangers of improper operation.
• It is advisable to cover food in most cases. It will be tastier and your oven will stay cleaner.
However, be sure to remove the cap or lid before cooking foods or heating liquids in a sealed
bottle or container, which could otherwise explode. You must not cover when using the grill, microwave and grill or pizza functions.
• The heating or cooking of boiled, coddled eggs or fried eggs by microwave is prohibited. They
can burst and cause serious burns or irreparable damage to your oven.
• When heating liquids, the boiling point may be reached without the typical bubbles appearing
on the surface. To prevent liquids from boiling over and possible burns, wait 20 seconds before
removing the containers from the appliance or adding anything to the liquids, to avoid sudden
spurting of the liquid.
• For small amounts (one sausage, a single croissant, etc.), place a glass of water alongside the food
item.
• Time settings that are too long may dry out and burn the food. To avoid such incidents, never
use the same cooking times as those recommended for traditional ovens.
• If smoke appears, keep the oven door closed and disconnect the oven or turn it off.
