1.2 BEFORE OPERATING THE OVEN
• Carefully read the instructions and the warranty conditions, and keep them for future reference.
• Check that there is no damage to the oven. In particular, check that the door closes properly.
• Check that the turntable spindle is inserted correctly in the special slot in the centre of the cavity.
• Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.
• Position the support in the centre of the circular recess and rest the turntable on the support. The spindle must
be inserted in the corresponding hole in the centre of the turntable.
• The oven only works when the door is closed.
• If the oven is installed too close to radio/television appliances, or antennae, there may be radio disturbance.
• The box is recyclable and marked with the corresponding symbol .
Warning
The oven must never be operated when empty, as this may damage the appliance.
1.3 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
• This oven has been designed to defrost, heat and cook food in the home. It must not be used for any other
purpose, nor modified or tampered with in any way.
• Before connecting this oven to the mains, check that the door closes tightly. Also check to see that the metal
frame is not warped and that the hinges and hooks have not loosened. In the event that these parts have been
damaged, the microwave oven cannot be used until a qualified technician has made the necessary repairs.
• Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the safety devices.
• Do not operate the oven if objects of any kind get stuck between the front panel of the oven and the door.
Always keep the inside of the door 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 and the door.
• When the door is open, always keep in the following in mind;
- do not place heavy objects on the open door or do not forcefully push the open door down, to prevent the
appliance from tipping over.
- never place containers or hot pans (e.g. just removed from the oven) onto the open door.
• Do not operate the oven if the power cable or the plug is damaged (danger of electric shock).
• The adjustment, repair and replacement of the power cable should only be carried out by qualified personnel. Any repairs carried out by unqualified personnel may be dangerous.
• The oven must only be used by adults.
Do not allow children near the oven when it is in operation (danger of burns).
• Do not use the microwave oven to dry paper, fabrics or other combustible materials.
• During operation the oven becomes hot. Do not touch the heating element inside the oven.
• When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.), the contents may suddenly start to boil and spill violently as
a result of delayed boiling, causing scalding. To prevent this from happening, place a heat-resistant plastic
spoon or a glass rod in the container before starting to heat liquids.
• One of the main advantages of the microwave oven is the short cooking time, therefore do not exceed the
suggested times for cooking and heating the foods.
• For details, refer to the cooking tables, especially if cooking or heating foods containing alcohol.
• After heating foods for very young children (in feeding bottles or jars), ALWAYS test the temperature befo-
re feeding, to avoid burns. It is also recommended to mix or stir the food to make the temperature more
uniform.
