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.

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, qualied
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.
