be used for defrosting, reheating and cooking.
For your safety and that of those around you, please take special care to read the
Important Safeguards listed here:
1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
2 DO NOT under any circumstances use this appliance for anything other
than its intended domestic purpose.
3 DO NOT use this appliance if there is any visible sign of damage to the oven,
supply cord or door seal or if it has been accidentally dropped.
4 DO NOT immerse this appliance, the supply cord or the plug in water or
any other liquid.
5 DO NOT let the electrical supply cord hang over the edge of a work surface
or allow it to touch hot surfaces such as a gas or electric hob.
6 WARNING: The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision. 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.
7 WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode. Eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled
eggs should not be heated in a microwave oven since they may explode even
after microwave heating has ended.
8 To reduce the risk of fire in the oven space you should supervise the oven
when in use especially when food is heated or cooked in disposable containers
of plastic, paper or other combustible materials.
9 If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off and
disconnect the power supply. Leave well alone until the smoke has ceased.
10 DO NOT operate the oven when it is empty as this could seriously damage
the oven.
11 DO NOT use the oven space for any type of storage.
12 DO NOT cook foods such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers etc, without
first piercing several times with a fork.
13 DO NOT cook foods directly on the glass tray. Place food in a suitable dish
before placing in the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS contd.
15 Always test the temperature of cooked food especially if you are heating or
cooking foods or liquids for babies. Foods and liquids should be allowed to
stand for a few minutes and stirred to distribute heat evenly. Remember to stir
with a non-metal utensil to prevent the food or liquid suddenly bubbling over
the container.
16 There are certain foods such as jam, mincemeat and Christmas pudding, which
heat up very quickly, and care should be taken to check the temperature
before consuming. When heating or cooking certain foods with a high fat or
sugar content do not use plastic containers.
17 If using a thermometer ensure it is a model specifically for use in microwave
ovens.
18 DO NOT attempt to deep fry food in the microwave.
19 Please remember when microwaving liquids that although the container is not
hot the liquid inside is, and will release steam or spit as in conventional
cooking. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care shall be taken when handling the container.
20 WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
21 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.

CARE & CLEANING
1 Turn the oven off and remove the plug from the socket before cleaning.
2 Keep the inside of the oven clean by wiping with a damp cloth. If the oven is heavily
soiled a mild detergent solution may be used. Do not use harsh or aggressive
detergents as this damages the oven. Do not use a knife or any other form of scraper
to remove food residues from this oven.
3 The outside of the oven can be cleaned with a warm damp cloth.
4 Keep the control panel free from too much moisture. Clean it with a soft damp cloth
only and do not use detergents or abrasives.
5 If condensation accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe it
clean with a damp cloth. Condensation is quite normal and forms when moisture is
present during cooking.
6 Ensure the door seals and adjacent parts are kept clean by wiping with a damp cloth.
If the door seal is damaged in any way the oven must not be used until it has been
repaired by a Kenwood Authorised Repairer.
7 It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in
warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
8 The roller ring and bottom surface of the oven should be cleaned regularly to avoid
excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven using a mild detergent
and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. The roller ring may be washed in mild soapy
water, rinsed and dried thoroughly. Be sure to replace the roller ring in the correct
position.
9 Remove odours from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and rind
of a lemon in a deep microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 1
1
⁄2 minutes and then wipe
the inside of the oven with a dry cloth.
10 Inspect the oven regularly for signs of corrosion – particularly around the door. If you
find any signs of corrosion, arrange for the appliance to be serviced.

Pour votre sécurité et celle des personnes qui vous entourent, veuillez lire très
attentivement les Recommandations Importantes pour la Sécurité regroupées ci-dessous :
1 INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES. LISEZ ATTENTIVEMENT
ET CONSERVEZ-LES POUR VOUS Y REPORTER PAR LA SUITE.
2 NE PAS, en aucune circonstance, utiliser cet appareil à toute autre fin que
l’usage domestique auquel il est destiné.
3 NE PAS utiliser cet appareil si le cordon d’alimentation ou le joint d’étanchéité de la
porte sont visiblement endommagés ou en cas de chute accidentelle de l’appareil.
4 NE PAS plonger cet appareil, le cordon d’alimentation ou la prise dans l’eau ou
dans tout autre liquide.
5 NE PAS laisser le cordon d’alimentation électrique pendre d’un plan de travail ou au
contact de surfaces chaudes telles qu’une plaque de cuisson au gaz ou électrique.
6 AVERTISSEMENT : Cet appareil n’est pas prévu pour être utilisé par de jeunes
enfants ou des personnes infirmes sans surveillance. Laissez des enfants
utiliser le four sans surveillance uniquement s’ils ont reçu des instructions
appropriées afin de pouvoir utiliser le four de façon sûre et de comprendre les
dangers d’une mauvaise utilisation.
7 Certains produits, tels que les œufs dans leur coquille ou les conteneurs
étanches, peuvent exploser et ne doivent pas être chauffés dans un four à microondes. Ne pas cuire dans des conteneurs aux ouvertures restreintes, tels que les
bouteilles et les bocaux de petite taille, en raison du risque d’explosion dans le four.
8 Afin de réduire le risque d’incendie dans l’espace de cuisson, le four doit être
surveillé durant son fonctionnement, notamment lorsque les aliments sont
réchauffés ou cuits dans des conditionnements jetables en plastique, papier ou
autre matière combustible.
9 En cas d’apparition de fumée, maintenir la porte du four fermée, éteindre
l’appareil et débrancher le cordon d’alimentation. Ne pas s’approcher de
l’appareil avant la disparition de toute fumée.
10 NE PAS faire fonctionner le four lorsqu’il est vide, car il pourrait être gravement
endommagé.
11 NE PAS utiliser l’espace intérieur du four à toute fin de rangement.
12 NE PAS cuire les aliments tels que les jaunes d’œufs, les pommes de terre, les foies
de poulet, etc., sans les percer auparavant plusieurs fois à l’aide d’une fourchette.
13 NE PAS cuire les aliments directement sur le plateau en verre. Déposer les
aliments dans un plat approprié avant de les mettre au four.
RECOMMANDATIONS IMPORTANTES POUR LA SÉCURITÉ
12
14 NE PAS utiliser de plats métalliques ou disposant de poignées en métal. NE PAS
introduire dans le four tout ustensile présentant un revêtement métallique ou tout
lien de fermeture métalloplastique.
Avant utilisation, contrôler que les ustensiles sont adaptés aux fours à micro-ondes.
15 Testez toujours la température des aliments cuits, notamment si vous faites
chauffer ou cuire des aliments ou liquides destinés aux bébés. Il convient de
laisser les aliments et liquides reposer pendant quelques minutes et de les
mélanger afin de répartir la chaleur également. Veillez à mélanger à l’aide d’un
ustensile non métallique afin d’éviter que les aliments ou liquides bouillants ne
débordent soudainement du récipient.
16 Certains aliments, tels que la confiture, la garniture de tartelette et le pudding,
chauffent très rapidement et il convient de vérifier leur température avant de
les consommer. N’utilisez pas de récipients en plastique pour faire chauffer ou
cuire certains aliments présentant un taux élevé de matières grasses ou de
sucre.
17 En cas d’utilisation d’un thermomètre, assurez-vous qu’il s’agit d’un modèle
spécifiquement conçu pour les fours à micro-ondes.
18 N’ESSAYEZ PAS de réaliser une friture dans votre four à micro-ondes.
19 Lorsque vous faites chauffer des liquides au four à micro-ondes, bien que le
récipient ne soit pas chaud, souvenez-vous que le liquide à l’intérieur l’est et
qu’il produira de la vapeur ou des projections, tout comme en cas de cuisson
conventionnelle. Le réchauffage de boissons au four à micro-ondes peut être
suivi d’une ébullition éruptive à retardement. Par conséquent il convient de
prendre des précautions lors de la manipulation du récipient.
20 AVERTISSEMENT : Si la porte ou les joints de la porte sont endommagés, le
four ne doit pas être utilisé avant d’avoir été réparé par une personne
compétente.
21 AVERTISSEMENT : Il est dangereux pour toute personne autre qu’une
personne compétente d’effectuer une opération d’entretien ou de réparation
qui impliquerait le retrait d’un couvercle qui protège contre une exposition à
l’énergie micro-onde.
