the safe use of the product, or unless they are properly supervised by a qualified person who is responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product.

WARNING!

To limit the risk of a fire hazard, electric shock, injury or exposure to excessive amounts of microwave energy:

• Before using this appliance read all the instructions.
• Only use the appliance for the purposes for which it was designed and in the manner described in this user's manual. This oven is designed only to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory purposes. Do not use caustic chemicals on this appliance.

• Do not use this oven if the power cord or power plug is damaged, if it is not working correctly, if it is damaged or if it has been dropped on the floor. Any repair of the microwave oven or replacement of a damaged power cord may only be carried out by an authorised service centre or another similarly qualified person, as this will prevent causing a dangerous situation.
• WARNING: If the door or the door seal is damaged then the oven must not be used until repaired by an authorised service centre or qualified person.
• WARNING: It is dangerous for anybody other than an authorised service centre or qualified person to carry out any repairs or maintenance whatsoever that leads to the removal of any cover providing protection from microwave energy radiation.

- WARNING: The use of the oven by unsupervised children is only permitted when sufficient instructions were given, so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe manner and understands the danger resulting from incorrect use.

- To limit the risk of a fire hazard inside the oven, use only kitchen dishes suitable for use in microwave ovens. When heating meal in plastic or paper dishes, regularly check the oven to prevent it catching on fire.

- If you notice smoke, turn off the appliance and disconnect the power plug from the socket. Leave the oven door closed to prevent potential fire from spreading.

- If you are not using the oven do not leave paper materials, kitchen dishes or food inside.

- WARNING: Liquids or other meals must not be heated in closed containers, because they could explode.

- Heating of beverages in the microwave may cause a delayed boil and so you should be careful when handling containers and dishes.

- Do not fry food in the microwave oven. Hot oil may damage parts of the oven, dishes or may also cause skin burns.

- Eggs in their shells and whole hard boiled eggs must not be heated in the microwave oven because they could explode.

- Before cooking prick food with a thick peel, such as potatoes, pumpkins, apples and chestnuts.

- The content of baby bottles and baby food needs to be mixed or shaken before being served to the infant and the temperature needs to be checked to prevent burns.

- Kitchen dishes may become hot as a result of the heat transferred from the heated food. Sometimes it may be necessary to use protective gloves.

• IMPORTANT - kitchen dishes and utensils, which must not be used in the microwave oven:
• metal pans and crockery with metal handles or with metal decorations;
• clamps on plastic bags;
• dishes with melamine surface treatment;
• standard thermometers, which are used for measuring the temperature of meat etc.
• The rear surface of appliance shall be placed against a wall.
• The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet unless it has been tested in a cabinet.
• The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying food or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.

Radio wave interference

The use of the oven may cause interference to a radio, television or similar receivers. If interference occurs, it may be limited by the following measures:

1. keeping the door and the surface of the oven seals clean;
2. redirecting the radio or television signal reception antenna;
3. moving the microwave oven further away from the receiver;
4. connecting the microwave oven to a different power socket so that the microwave oven and the receiver do not share the same circuit.

Grounding instructions

This microwave oven must be grounded. The microwave oven is equipped with a power cord, which has a ground wire with a grounding power plug. The power plug must be connected to a mains socket outlet that is correctly installed and grounded. This reduces the risk of injury by electric shock if a short circuit occurs – in such a case the electric current goes through the earthing wire. We recommend that the microwave oven be connected to an independent electrical circuit. The use of high voltage is dangerous and may lead to a fire or another accident that can damage the microwave oven.

WARNING!

An incorrectly grounded power socket may present a danger of electric shock.

NOTE:

1. If you are uncertain about the grounding of your mains power socket, contact an authorised service centre or a qualified electrician.
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the vendor is responsible for damages to property and health if the microwave oven is connected incorrectly and not in accordance with the presented recommendations.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since this can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to break or tamper with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.

NOTE:

If the apparatus is not maintained in a good state of cleanliness, its surface could be degraded and affect the lifespan of the apparatus and lead to a dangerous situation.
