PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY

1. Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since this can result in
harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to break or tamper with
the safety interlocks.

2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow dirt or
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

3. WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated
until it has been repaired by a competent person.

If the apparatus is not maintained in a good state of cleanliness, its surface could be
degraded and affect the lifespan of the apparatus and lead to a dangerous situation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave energy when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following:

 Read and follow the specific: "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE

EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY".

 This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall
not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made
by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised. Children less than 8
years of age shall be kept away unless continuously supervised.

 Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years.
 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service

agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

 WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is unplugged before replacing the lamp to

avoid the possibility of electric shock.

 WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry

out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of the cover which
gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

 WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers

since they are liable to explode.

 When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due

to the possibility of ignition.

 Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
 If smoke is emitted, switch off the appliance and keep the door closed in order to

stifle any flames.

 The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and

the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

 The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
 Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the

surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in
a hazardous situation.

 Do not use a temperature probe with this oven.
 Metallic containers for food and beverages must not be used during microwave

cooking.

 The appliance must not be cleaned with a steam cleaner.
 CAUTION: This appliance is designed only for cooking food and is intended for

indoor domestic household use only and should not be used for any other
purpose or in any other application, such as for non-domestic use or in a
commercial environment or for heating a room.

 The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food

or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloths and
similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.

 The microwave is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or

separate remote-control system.

 If it is necessary to use an extension cord, its marked electrical rating must be at

least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and must be 3 core
including the earth.

 Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried out and damaged

power cables replaced by a suitably qualified and competent electrician.

 If the appliance is defective, unplug the unit and contact the retailer or

manufacturer for support.

 The cable insulation on electrical appliances may melt when touching hot parts

of the appliance. Never bring electrical appliance cables into contact with the
microwave.

 During use the appliance will become hot
 Accessories and ovenware may become very hot. Always use oven gloves to

remove accessories or ovenware from the cooking compartment.

 Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking compartment. Never prepare

food containing large quantities of drinks with a high alcohol content. Only use
small quantities of drinks with a high alcohol content. Open the appliance door
with care.

 Foods with peel or skin may burst or explode during, or even after, heating. Never

cook eggs in their shells or reheat hard-boiled eggs. Never cook shellfish or
crustaceans. Always prick the yoke when baking or poaching eggs. The skin of
foods that have a peel or skin, such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages,
may burst. Before heating, prick the peel or skin.

Risk of scalding!

 When you open the appliance door, hot steam may escape. Open the appliance

door with care. Keep children at a safe distance.

 Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore

care must be taken when handling the container. This means that the liquid
reaches boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the

4

surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the hot liquid may suddenly
boil over and spatter.

 When heating, always place a spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed

boiling.

Risk of injury!

 Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a crack. Do not use a

glass scraper, sharp or abrasive cleaning aids or detergents.

 Unsuitable ovenware may crack. Porcelain or ceramic ovenware can have small

perforations in the handles or lids. These perforations conceal a cavity below.
Any moisture that penetrates this cavity could cause the ovenware to crack.

 Only use microwave-safe ovenware

CAUSES OF DAMAGE
Caution!

 Creation of sparks: Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 2 cm from

the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the
glass on the inside of the door.

 Water in the hot cooking compartment: Never pour water into the hot cooking

compartment. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause
damage.

 Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking compartment for long

periods.

 Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to corrosion.
 Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer

close properly during operation. Always keep the seal clean.

 Operating the microwave without food: Operating the appliance without food

in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading. Never switch on the
appliance unless there is food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this
rule is a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable crockery").

 Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects on: Do not stand

or place anything on the open appliance door. Do not place ovenware or
accessories on the appliance door.

 Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door

handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could
break.

 Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too high. Use a power

setting no higher than 600 watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.
The disc may jump if overloaded.

 The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed since they

may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

 Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the

surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in
a hazardous situation.
