2.2. Safety instructions

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

 Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since

operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

 Do not place any object between the oven front face and the

door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

 Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly

important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

 DOOR (bent)  HINGES AND LATCHES (broken or loosened)  DOOR SEALS AND SEALING SURFACE

 The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except

properly qualified service personnel.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

- 5

SilverCrest SMW 900 B1

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 5.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 8.

4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – could explode and should not be heated in this oven.

6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact your nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water – for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar location.

12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

6 -

SilverCrest SMW 900 B1

14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

15. When cleaning the surfaces of the door and oven that come together when the door is closed, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergent applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

 Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when

paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

 Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bag before

placing bag in oven.

 If material inside of the oven ignites, keep oven door closed,

turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

 Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave

paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

17. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea can be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

 Do not overheat the liquid.  Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.  Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.  After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave

oven for a short time before removing the container.

- 7

SilverCrest SMW 900 B1

 Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into

the container.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For household use only.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounded plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

SilverCrest SMW 900 B1

Electric Shock Hazard

Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.

Electric Shock Hazard

Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until the appliance is properly installed and grounded.

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:

 The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord

should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

 The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

 The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape

over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment.

- 9

SilverCrest SMW 900 B1

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

 Clean door and sealing surface of the oven

 Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.  Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.  Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.  Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the

microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

SAFETY

1. The oven must be on a level surface.

2. The turntable and turntable roller rest must be in the oven during cooking. Place the cookware gently on the turntable and handle it carefully to avoid possible breakage.

3. Incorrect use of a browning dish may cause the turntable to break.

4. Use only the specified bag size when using direct access popcorn.

5. The oven has several built-in safety switches to ensure that the power remains off when the door is open. Do not tamper with these switches.

6. Do not operate the microwave oven empty. Operating the oven with no food or food that is extremely low in moisture can cause fire, charring, or sparking.

7. Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable. Excessive local heating of the turntable may cause the turntable to break.

8. Do not heat baby bottles or baby food in the microwave oven. Uneven heating may occur and could cause physical injury.

12. Do not use this microwave oven for commercial purposes. This microwave oven is designed for household use only.

13. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of hot liquids and beverages or scalding yourself, stir liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the cooking time. Let stand in the oven for a short time and stir again before removing the container.

14. Use carefully when cooking food in the microwave oven to avoid burning due to excessive cooking.

15. When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures generated.

16. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
