CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL

1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

Read carefully these instructions and keep for future reference

1) WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repai­red by a competent person (trained by the manufacturer or by its Customer Service).

2) WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair
operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave
energy.

3) WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.

4) WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have
been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of impro­per use. Do not allow children near the oven when it is in operation, as this may result in severe burns.

5) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with
the safety devices.

6) Do not operate the oven if objects for any kind get stuck between the front
panel of the oven and the door. Always keep the inside of the door (E)
clean, using a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergents. Do not allow dirt
or remains of food to accumulate between the front panel of the oven on
the door.

7) The following warnings must be considered when the door is open: Do not
place heavy objects on the door or pull the handle downwards any further.
Never place hot containers or pans (e.g. just taken off the stove) on the
door.

8) Do not operate the oven if the supply cable or the plug is damaged, as this
may result in electric shocks. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similary qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.

9) The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons.
Young children should be supervised toensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

10) If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE
DOOR CLOSED in order to stifle any flames.

11) Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. In order to
avoid overheating and the consequent risk of fire, it is advisable to super­vise the oven when cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic,
cardboard or other inflammable materials, and when heating small quan­tities of food.

12) Never place the turntable in water after it has ben heated for a long time.
The high thermal shock resulting would break the turntable.

13) When cooking "Only MICROWAVE" and "COMBINED WITH MICROWA­VE" , you absolutely must not pre-heat the oven (without foodstuffs in it)
and you must not operate it when it is empty, because you might cause
sparking.

14) Before using this oven, check to be certain that the utensil and containers
chosen are suitable for microwave oven use (see the section on "Glasswa­re and Similar Items").

15) During the use the appliance becomes hot. Do not touch the heating ele­ments inside the oven.

16) When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.) it is possible that the con­tents may suddenly start to boil and spill violently as a result of delayed
boiling, causing scalding. To avoid this happening, you should place a
