SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

• If food being heated begins to smoke, DO NOT

OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and unplug the oven and wait until the food has stopped smoking. Opening the door while food is smoking may cause a re.

• Only use microwave-safe containers and utensils.

Do not leave the oven unattended when using disposable plastic, paper or other combustible food containers.

• Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the

turntable and turntable support after use. These must be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch re.

• The microwave oven is intended for heating food

and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or re.

TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY:

WARNING

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the following before use:

a) The door; make sure the door closes properly

and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.

b) The hinges and door safety latches; check to

make sure they are not broken or loose.

c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure

that they have not been damaged.

d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make

sure there are no dents.

e) The power supply cord and plug; ensure that

they are not damaged.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY:

• Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself.

• It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent

person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

• Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door

seals and adjacent parts. Follow the instructions for Care Recommendations on page 17. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

• Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or

allow anyone who is not authorized to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult your dealer or call an authorized service agent.

TO AVOID THE DANGER OF FIRE:

IMPORTANT: If you are unsure how to connect the oven, please consult an authorized, qualied electrician.

• The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so

that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency. The AC power supply must be 110/120V, 60Hz, with a minimum 15 A distribution circuit breaker. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. Do not store or use the oven outdoors.

• Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter

the door safety latches in any way. Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the door seals and sealing surfaces.

• Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept

any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedure.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPLOSION AND SUDDEN BOILING:

WARNING

Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

• Microwave heating of beverages can result in

delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

• Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard

boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:

• Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

• It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil

into the liquid whilst reheating.

• Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven

at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.

• To avoid burns, always test food temperature and

stir before serving and pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly.

• Keep children away from the door to prevent them

from burning themselves.

• Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and

lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off. Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

• Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sau-

sages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
