IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

The oven cannot be operated with the door open due to the safety interlocks built in the door mechanism which switch off cooking functions when the door is opened.

Operating the oven with the door open could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to tamper with the door mechanism.

Do not let water or any other liquid enter the oven through the ventilation slots.

Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

Do not operate the oven if it does not work as expected or the mains lead is damaged or the unit is damaged in any way.

It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the door (bent), or hinges and latches (broken or loosened), or the door seals and sealing surfaces.

The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified personnel. This product is intended to be used free standing.

Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.

After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time. Stir or shake the contents (especially feeding bottles and baby foods) and carefully check the temperature before use.

WARNING: MICROWAVE ENERGY. DO NOT REMOVE THIS COVER.

Install or locate this oven only in the accordance with the installation instructions provided.

Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.

General Advice

Frequent cleaning prevents smoke and bad odours during cooking and also sparking in the oven cavity and around the door seal.

Do not let food deposits or grease accumulate inside the oven cavity or on the door seal.

If your microwave oven is fitted with a waveguide cover (usually located inside the oven cavity on the right side wall) it must be kept clean at all times, should food deposits or grease be allowed to accumulate on the cover, sparking will occur and may damage your oven invalidating the warranty.

Before any maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the oven from the mains supply and wait for it to cool to room temperature.

Oven Door

Interior Walls

Remove any grease splashes from the oven cavity walls with soap and water, then rinse and dry.

The door seal and oven cavity have to be particularly well cleaned to ensure the door will close properly and to avoid sparking between the oven cavity and door assembly.

Do not use abrasive products such as scouring pads which will damage the surfaces of the oven cavity and door.

Only warm soapy water must be used to clean stainless steels surfaces.

Outer Surfaces

To clean the outside surface, use a damp cloth.

Avoid using abrasive products such as scouring pads that may damage the cosmetic surfaces. Make sure water does not seep into the ventilation slots.

Accessories should be washed in warm soapy water by hand.

CAUTION

Some waveguide covers can be easily damaged take care when cleaning.

Do not wash accessories in a dishwasher.

WARNING:
