Make sure that the appliance is not damaged. Check that the oven door closes

firmly against the door support and that the internal door seal is not damaged. Empty the oven and clean inside it with a soft, damp cloth.

The earthing of this appliance is compulsory by law. The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for injury to persons or damage to objects arising from the non-observance of this requirement.

The packaging material is recyclable and marked with the symbol for recycling .

Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged mains cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Electrical shock, fire or other hazards may result.

Do not immerse the mains cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces.

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

Place the oven on a stable, even surface that is strong enough

to hold the oven and the food utensils you put in it. The control side of the unit is the heavy side. Use care when handling.

Place the oven at a distance from other heating sources. The cooling air, which is

taken in by the oven, must not exceed 35°C

temperature. For sufficient ventilation there must be a space of at least 10 cm above the oven.

The ventilation openings on the oven must not be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust vents may cause damage to the oven and poor cooking results. Make sure the microwave oven feet are in place to ensure proper airflow.

The oven can be operated only if the oven door is firmly closed.

Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio or aerial.

utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open. Injury could result.

WARNING!

The appliance should not be operated

without food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance. If you practice operating the oven, put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be damaged.

Important when using your microwave oven

Do not heat, store or use flammable materials in or near the oven. Fumes can

create a fire hazard or explosion.

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.

Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapours in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

Do not over-cook food. Fire could result.

Do not use your microwave oven for drying

textiles, paper, spices, herbs, wood, flowers, fruit or other combustible materials. Fire could result.

Do not leave the oven unattended, especially when using paper, plastic or other combustible materials in the cooking process. Paper can char or burn, and some plastics can melt if used when heating foods. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

Do not use your microwave oven for cooking or reheating whole eggs with or without shell since they may explode.

WARNING!

Do not use your microwave oven for

heating food or liquids in airtight sealed containers. The pressure increases and may cause damage when opening or may explode.

Some foods which have a low water content e.g. oil, chocolate and some pastries with sweet fillings, must be heated carefully.

Do not use your microwave oven for deep frying, because you cannot control the oil temperature.

One of the major advantages of microwave ovens is the short cooking time. Therefore, do not exceed recommended times for cooking or re-heating food.

Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.

If material inside the oven should ignite,

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

When heating liquids, e.g. beverages or water in your microwave 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. 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 to stand for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from the oven.

Always refer to a microwave cookbook for details, especially if cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol.

After heating baby food or liquids in 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 are removed before heating!

Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not

heat containers, but the hot food does. Use oven mitts when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking to prevent burns.
