PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL

This appliance is designed for domestic use only!

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.

Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.

Do not remove the microwave inlet protection plates located on the side of the oven cavity wall. They prevent grease & food particles from entering the microwave inlet channels.

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

DEEP-FRYING

Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature

cannot be controlled.

Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking.

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

CAREFUL

Always refer to a microwave cookbook (not included) 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!

PUSH - PUSH KNOBS

The knobs of this oven are aligned with the buttons on the panel, at delivery. The knobs will slide out if pushed and

their various functions can be accessed. It is not neccessary to have them petruding from the panel during operation.

Simply push them back into the panel when you are

done with the setting and continue to operate the oven.
