I

F THE MAINS CORD NEEDS REPLACING

it should be replaced by the
original mains cord, which is
available via our service
organization. The
mains cord may only
be replaced by a trained
service technician.

SERVICE ONLY TO BE CARRIED

OUT BY A TRAINED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN. It is hazardous

for anyone other than
a trained person to carry out
any service or repair operation,
which involves the removal of
any cover, which gives protection

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL

HIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY!

T

HIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED to be used built-in. Do

T

not use it freestanding.

THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED for heating food and
beverages. Drying of food or clothing and
heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges,
damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of
injury, ignition or fire.

HE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without food

T

in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the appliance.

I

F YOU PRAC TISE OPERATING the oven, put a glass

of water inside. The water will absorb the mi­crowave energy and the oven will not be dam­aged.

O NOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes.

D

R

EMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or

plastic bags before placing bag in
the oven.

DEEPFRYING

O NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for

D

deep-frying, because the oil
temperature cannot be con­trolled.

LIQUIDS
E.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point can occur
without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps
should be taken:

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.

2. Stir the liquid before placing the contain­er in the oven and let the teaspoon re­main in the container.

3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully re­moving the container from the oven.

CAREFUL
ALWAYS REFER to a microwave cookbook for de­tails. Especially, if cooking or reheating food
that contains alcohol.

FTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids in a

A

baby bottle or in a baby food
jar, always stir and check the
temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed
and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.

Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed be­fore heating!

SE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent burns,

U

when touching containers, oven parts, and
pan after cooking.

5

ACCESSORIES

GENERAL

HERE ARE a number of accessories available on

T

the market. Before you buy, ensure they are
suitable for microwave use.

E

NSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof

and allow microwaves to
pass through them before
cooking.

W

HEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACC ESSORIES in the micro-

wave oven, ensure that they do not come in
contact with the interior of the oven.

This is especially important with accesso­ries made of metal or metal parts.

I

F ACCESSOR IES CONTAIN ING METAL come into con-

tact with the oven interior, while the oven is
in operation, sparking can occur and the oven
could be damaged.

LWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn

A

freely before starting the oven.

CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally re-
quired.

AILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition

F

could lead to deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

O NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS,

D

ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, steel-

wool pads, gritty wash­cloths, etc. which can
damage the control pan­el, and the interior and exterior oven sur­faces. Use a sponge with a mild detergent
or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner.
Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.
DO NOT SPRAY directly on the oven.
