hold the oven and the food
utensils you put in it. Use
care when handling.

Position 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 suffi cient ventilation there
must be a space of at least 8-cm above the
oven. Ensure that the space underneath,
above and around the oven is empty to allow
for proper airfl ow. The oven can operate in an
ambient temperature ranging from +5°C to
+35°C.

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.

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 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!

Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns,

when touching containers, oven parts, and pan
after cooking.
