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.
If the Grill function is not used regularly, there is a risk of fire, due to the possible buildup of food particles and fat, beneath the grill element. To reduce this risk, the Grill only function should be run for 10 minutes once a month to clean the elements.
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. 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 microwave 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.
TURNTABLE SUPPORT
Use the turntable support under the Glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turntable support.
* Fit the turntable support in the oven.
GLASS TURNTABLE
Use the Glass turntable with all cooking methods. It collects the dripping juices and food particles that
otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven.
*Place the Glass turntable on the turntable support.
BABY BOTTLE HOLDER
Use the Baby bottle Holder when heating baby food in bottles that are too tall to stand-alone in the oven. Please see also, the
chapter ”Precautions”, for more information about heating baby food.
