-Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

-It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.

-Let liquid stand for at last 20 sconds in the oven at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.

Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly.

Never modify the oven in any way.

Do not move the oven while it is in operation.

When using a browning dish or selfheating material, always place a heat resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable due to heat stress. The preheating time specified in the dish´s insructions must not be exceeded.

Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the oven.

Use only the turntable designed for this oven.

Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation.

Do not use plastic containers for microwaving if the oven is still hot from using the grill, dual and automatic operation (exept auto defrost), because they may melt. Plastic containers must not be used during above modes unless the container manufacturer says they are suitable.

If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please consult an authorised, qualified electrician.

Water vapour or drops may occasinally form on the oven walls or around the door seals and sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.

The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.

Do not place the oven in areas where heat is generated. For example, close to a conventional oven.

Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity and the turntable after use. After cooking fatty foods without lid, always clean the cavity and especially the grill heating elements thoroughly. These must be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.

Earthing notice/Correct Installation

This appliance must be earthed. The appliance has a lead with an earthing wire and earthing connector. A correspondingly installed and earthed wall socket is required for this. In the case of a short circuit, earthing with the earthing cable reduces the risk of an electric shock. An individual circuit solely for the connection of the microwave is recommended. The use of high voltages is dangerous and can cause fires or other accidents, resulting in damage to the appliance.

Danger: Improper use of the earthing connector can cause the risk of an electric shock.

NOTE: Should you have any questions about earthing or the instructions on the use of this electrical appliance, please consult an electrician or a maintenance technician.

Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept liability for damage to the microwave oven or injury to persons resulting from failure to comply with the instructions for electrical connection.
