Warning! The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas and if these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Warning! Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Do not remove the outer panel from the oven which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy. Repairs should only be by a qualified service person.

Warning! Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

Warning! Do not place this oven near an electric or gas cooker range.

Warning! 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.

Warning! When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in your oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.

English

1EN

Warning! The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken. The temperature has to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory and mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety concerning the 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 without supervision. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years.

When this oven is installed, it should be easy to isolate the appliance from the electricity supply by pulling out the plug or operating a circuit breaker.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

For Countertop use:

Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm at the back, and 5 cm on both sides. If one side of the oven is placed flush to wall, the other side or top must not be blocked. Do not remove feet.

This oven is intended for counter-top use only. It is not intended for Built-in use or for use inside a cupboard.

2EN

This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as: - staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working

environments; - farm houses;

- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments;

- bed and breakfast type environments.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if overheated.

If smoke is emitted or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel button and leave the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and the eggs may explode, even after the microwave heating has ended.

Clean the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal areas regularly. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the oven walls, door seals and door seal areas wipe off with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if they get very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasive is not recommended.

DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS.

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

English

3EN

A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.

Do not use harsh, abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages only. Take care when heating foods low in moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate, biscuits and pastries.

Questions and answers

Q:Why won’t my oven turn on?

A:When the oven does not turn on, check the following:

1.Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.

2.Check the circuit breaker and the fuse.

Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if it is tripped or blown.

3.If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right, plug another appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there probably is a problem with the oven. If the other appliance does not work, there probably is a problem with the outlet.

If it seems that there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorised Service Centre.

Q:My oven causes interference with my TV. Is this normal?

A:Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small

appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.

Q:The oven won’t accept my program. Why?

A:The oven is designed not to accept an incorrect program. For example, the oven will not accept a fourth stage.
