• SAFETY Never heat a baby bottle with the nipple on (risk of explosion). Do not allow children to use the microwave oven without supervision, unless appropriate instructions have been given so that the child can use the oven safely and understands the dangers of incorrect operation. RECOMMENDATIONS Your appliance is designed for standard household use for cooking, reheating and defrosting foods. The manufacturer declines any responsibility in the case of inappropriate use. Always use oven mitts to remove dishes from the oven. Some dishes absorb the heat of foods and, therefore, are very hot. Liquids and other foods should not be heated in sealed containers because they may explode. Ensure that the cookware is suitable for use in a microwave oven. It is recommended that you avoid heating eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs in the microwave oven because they run the risk of explosion, even after cooking is complete. To avoid damaging your appliance, never operate it while empty or without the turntable. Do not interfere with the openings on the lock on the front of the appliance; this could cause damage to your appliance that would require a service call. Heating beverages in the microwave oven can cause sudden and/or delayed splattering of boiling liquid, so precautions must be taken when handling their containers. The seal and frame of the door must be regularly examined to ensure that they have not deteriorated. If these areas are damaged, discontinue use of the appliance and have a specialised technician check it. In the case of small quantities (a sausage, a croissant, etc.) place a glass of water next to the food. Excessive cooking times may dry out foods and carbonise them. To avoid such incidents, never use the same times recommended for cooking in a traditional oven. While heating food items in plastic or paper containers, monitor the microwave’s contents for there is a risk of spontaneous combustion. If smoke appears, stop or unplug the oven and leave the door closed to smother any flames that may appear.

• PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT The micro-waves used for cooking are electro-magnetic waves. They are commonly found in our environment in the form of radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays. Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range. Their behaviour:
• They are reflected by metals.
• They travel through all other materials.
• They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules. It is valuable to note that the micro-waves trigger within the food a simple thermal phenomenon and that they are not harmful to one’s health. This appliance’s packing materials are recyclable. Recycle them and play a role in protecting the environment by disposing of them in municipal containers provided for this purpose. When food is exposed to micro-waves, its molecules begin moving rapidly, which causes heating. Your appliance also contains various recyclable materials. Thus it is stamped with this logo to indicate to you that used appliances should be mixed with other waste. The recycling of appliances organised by your manufacturer will take place under the best conditions, in compliance with European directive 2002/96/CE concerning electrical and electronic equipment waste. Consult your city hall or your retailer to find the drop-off points for used appliances that is nearest to your home. We thank you for your help in protecting the environment. The penetration depth of waves into the food is approximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker, the core of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in traditional cooking. Fig.01
