All safety warnings are preceded by the danger symbol and the
following terms:

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will cause serious injury.

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could cause serious injury.

All safety warnings give specific details of the potential risk present
and indicate how to reduce risk of injury, damage and electric shock
resulting from improper use of the appliance.
Carefully observe the following instructions:

- Use protective gloves to perform all unpacking and installation
operations.

- The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before
carrying out any installation work.

- Installation and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified
technician, in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and
local safety regulations. Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically stated in the user manual.

- Power cable replacement must be carried out by a qualified
electrician. Contact an authorised service centre.

- Regulations require that the appliance is earthed.

- The power cable must be long enough for connecting the Appliance,
once fitted in its housing, to the main power supply.

- For installation to comply with current safety regulations, an all-pole
disconnect switch with minimum contact gap of 3 mm must be used.

- Do not use multiple plug adaptors if the oven is fitted with a plug.

- Do not use extension leads.

- Do not pull the power supply cable.

- The electrical components must not be accessible to the user after
installation.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

- Do not touch the appliance with any wet part of the body and do not
operate it when barefoot.

- This appliance is designed solely for use as a domestic appliance for
cooking food. No other type of use is permitted (e.g.: heating rooms
or outdoor use). The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for
inappropriate use or incorrect setting of the controls.

- This appliance is intended to be used built-in. Do not use it
freestanding.

- The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use.
Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements.

- Very young (0-3 years) and young children (3-8 years) shall be kept
away unless continuously supervised.

- Children from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge
can use this appliance only if they are supervised or have been given
instructions on safe appliance use and if they understand the
hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance should not be done by unsupervised
children.

EN 3

- During and after use, do not touch the heating elements or interior
surfaces of the appliance: risk of burns. Do not allow the appliance to
come into contact with cloths or other flammable materials until all
the components have cooled down completely.

- At the end of cooking, exercise caution when opening the appliance
door, letting the hot air or steam exit gradually before accessing the
appliance. Do not obstruct the vent apertures.

- Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories, taking care not to
touch the heating elements.

- Do not place flammable materials in or near the appliance: a fire may
break out if the appliance is inadvertently switched on.

- Do not use the microwave oven for heating anything in airtight
sealed containers. The pressure increases and may cause damage
when opening or may explode.

- Do not use the microwave oven for drying textiles, paper, spices,
herbs, wood, flowers, fruit or other combustible materials. Fire could
result.

- Do not leave the appliance 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.

- Use containers suitable for use in a microwave oven only.

EN 4

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

- Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without
evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the
hot liquid.

- Do not use microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil
temperature cannot be controlled.

- After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle or in a baby food
jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving.
Ensure the lid and the teat is removed before heating.

- If alcoholic beverages are used when cooking foods (e.g. rum,
cognac, wine), remember that alcohol evaporates at high
temperatures. As a result, there is a risk that vapors released by the
alcohol may catch fire upon coming into contact with the electrical
heating element.

- Do not use microwave oven for cooking or reheating whole eggs
with or without shell since they may explode even after microwave
heating has ended.

- If material inside/outside the appliance should ignite or smoke is
observed, keep appliance door closed and turn the appliance off.
Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.

- Do not over-cook food. Fire could result.

- Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required. Failure to
maintain the appliance in a clean condition could lead to
deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

- Never use steam cleaning equipment.

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

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

- Do not remove any cover. The door seals and the door seal areas
must be regularly inspected for damage. If these areas are damaged
the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired 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 against exposure to microwave energy.
