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.

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.

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 STORE OR USE this appliance outdoors.

DO NOT USE this product near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar.

DO NOT USE the cavity for any storage purposes.

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. Accessible parts may become hot during use, young children should be kept away.

LIQUIDS

E.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. 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 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 is removed before heating!

ACCESSORIES

GENERAL

THERE ARE a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use.

ENSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof

and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking.

WHEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACCESSORIES in the micro-

wave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the oven.

This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.

IF ACCESSORIES CONTAINING METAL comes in contact

with the oven interior, while the oven is in operation, sparking can occur and the oven could be damaged.

ALWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn freely before starting the oven. If the turntable isn’t able to turn freely you should use a smaller vessel or the TurnTable stop function (see Large vessels).

LARGE VESSELS

USE THE TURNTABLE STOP button when cooking

with vessels that is so large that they can not turn freely in the oven. This function can only be used when cooking with mi-

crowaves only or

microwaves and Grill in combina-

tion. The button will not work with other functions.

TURNTABLE SUPPORT

USE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT under the

Glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turntable sup-

port.

Fit the turntable support in the oven.

GLASS TURNTABLE

USE THE GLASS TURNTABLE with all cooking methods. It collects the dripping juic-

es and food particles that otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven.

Place the Glass turntable on the turntable support.

WIRE RACK

USE THE HIGH WIRE RACK when cooking

with grill.

USE THE LOW WIRE RACK when cook-

ing with forced air or cooking in combination with other heat sources.
