WARNING: DURING USE THE APPLIANCE BECOMES HOT. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID TOUCHING HEATING ELEMENTS INSIDE THE OVEN. TO AVOID BURNS AND SCALDS CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. WARNING! THE OVEN CANNOT BE USED IF:
THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED CORRECTLY;  THE DOOR HINGES ARE DAMAGED;  THE SURFACES OF THE CONTACT BETWEEN THE DOOR AND
THE OVEN FRONT ARE DAMAGED;
THE DOOR WINDOW GLASS IS DAMAGED;  THERE IS FREQUENT ELECTRICAL ARCING INSIDE THE OVEN
THE OVEN CAN ONLY BE USED AGAIN AFTER IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
BEWARE! NEVER HEAT BABY FOODS OR DRINKS IN BOTTLES OR JARS WITH THE TEATS OR LIDS ON THEM. AFTER HEATING THE FOOD MIX OR SHAKE WELL SO THAT THE HEAT IS SPREAD EVENLY. CHECK THE FOOD TEMPERATURE BEFORE FEEDING THIS TO THE CHILD. DANGER OF BURNING!
TO AVOID FOOD OVERHEATING OR BURNING IT IS VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO SELECT LONG TIME PERIODS OR POWER LEVELS THAT ARE TOO HIGH WHEN HEATING SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOOD. FOR EXAMPLE, A BREAD ROLL CAN BURN AFTER 3 MINUTES IF THE POWER SELECTED IS TOO HIGH. FOR TOASTING, USE JUST THE GRILLING FUNCTION AND WATCH THE OVEN ALL THE TIME. IT YOU USE A COMBINED FUNCTION TO TOAST BREAD IT WILL CATCH FIRE IN A VERY SHORT TIME.
THIS OVEN IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR DOMESTIC USE! USE THE OVEN ONLY FOR PREPARING MEALS.
AVOID DAMAGING THE OVEN OR OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BY FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO METAL OBJECT INSIDE.
Do not switch on the oven without the turntable support, the
turntable ring and the respective plate being in place.
Never switch on the microwave when it is empty. If there is
no food inside there may be an electrical overcharge and the oven could be damaged. RISK OF DAMAGE!
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.  Use only dishes suitable for microwaves. Before using dishes
and containers in the microwave, check that these are suitable (see the section on types of dishes).
Never remove the mica cover on the ceiling of the oven
interior! This cover stops fat and pieces of food damaging the
microwave generator.
Do not keep any inflammable object inside the oven as it may
burn if the oven is switched on.
Do not use the oven as a pantry.  Eggs with their shells and whole boiled eggs must not be
heated in microwave ovens because they may explode.
Safety Precautions
10
Do not use the oven for frying as it is impossible to control the
temperature of oil heated by microwaves.
To avoid being burnt, always use oven gloves for handling
dishes and containers and touching the oven.
Do not lean or sit on the open oven door. This may damage
the oven, especially in the hinge zone. The door can bear a maximum weight of 8 kg.
The turntable and the grills can bear a maximum load of 8 kg.
CLEANING:
REPAIRS:
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance and the use of non-original spare parts.
To avoid damaging the oven, do not exceed this load.
Warning! Your microwave oven must be cleaned regularly. All
food remains must be removed (see section on Oven Cleaning). If the microwave oven is not kept clean its surface may deteriorate and this may shorten the oven’s working life and could even result in a dangerous situation.
The door contact surfaces (the front of the cavity and the inside
part of the doors) must be kept very clean in order to ensure the oven functions correctly.
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.
Please follow the instructions regarding cleaning in the section
“Oven Cleaning and Maintenance”.
Warning – Microwaves! The outer protection of the oven
must not be removed. It is dangerous for anyone not
authorised by the manufacturer to carry out any kind of repair or maintenance work.
If the power cable is damaged it should be substituted by the
manufacturer, aut horised agents or technicians qualified for this task in order to avoid dangerous situations. Furthermore, special tools are required for this task.
Repair and maintenance work, especially of current carrying
parts, can only be carried out by technicians authorised by the manufacturer.
