: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from

the oven.

use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.

: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always

transferred from the food to the dish.The dishes are therefore hot.

Safety

Installing Your Microwave Oven

• Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn yourself if the container is too hot.

• A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

• To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating. Reason

• In the event of scalding, follow these

• Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

• Cover with a clean, dry dressing.

• Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.

• NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.

• ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to the baby.

• NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.

Be careful not to damage the power cable.

• Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cable away from heated surfaces.

• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or

plug.

Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door. Reason

Keep the inside of the oven clean. Reason

You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation (especially when the oven is in defrosting). Reason:

When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut off automatically for safety. You can operate normally after letting it stand for over 30 minutes.

: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed;

this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.

: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.

: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can

cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.

This sound is normal when the electrical power output is

changing.
