INSTALLATION
PRIOR TO CONNECTING
CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE on the rating
plate corresponds to the voltage in your home.
DO NOT REMOVE THE MICROWAVE INLET PROTECTION
PLATES located on the side of
the oven cavity wall. They prevent grease & food parti- cles from entering the mi-
crowave inlet channels.
PLACE THE OVEN ON A STABLE, EVEN
SURFACE that is strong enough to hold the oven and the food utensils you put in it. Use
care when handling.
POSITION THE OVEN AT A DISTANCE from other heat-
ing sources. For sufficient ventilation there must be a space of at least 20 cm above the oven. Ensure that the space underneath, above and around the oven is empty to allow for proper airflow. The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet.
ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS NOT DAMAGED. Check
that the oven door closes firmly against the door support. Empty the oven and clean the interior with a soft, damp cloth.
AFTER CONNECTING
THE OVEN CAN BE OPERATED ONLY if the oven door is
firmly closed.
POOR TELEVISION RECEPTION and radio interference
may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio or aerial.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE if it has a
damaged mains cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Do not immerse the mains cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces. Electrical shock, fire or other hazards may result.
DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD:
IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS TOO SHORT, have a
qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.
THE EARTHING OF THIS APPLIANCE is compulso-
ry. The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for injury to persons, animals or damage to objects arising from the non-observance of this requirement.

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.
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.
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 microwaves only. 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 support.
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.
CRISP HANDLE
USE THE SUPPLIED SPECIAL CRISP
HANDLE to remove the hot Crisp plate from the oven.
CRISP-PLATE
PLACE THE FOOD DIRECTLY ON THE CRISP-PLATE.
Always use the Glass turn-
table as support when us-
ing the Crisp-plate.
DO NOT PLACE ANY UTENSILS on
the Crisp-plate since it will quickly become very hot and is likely to cause damage to the utensil.
THE CRISP-PLATE may be preheated before use (max. 3 min.). Always use the Crisp function when preheating the crisp-plate.
