Therefore, these factors shall be ensured by the user/s using and operating this appliance. We are not liable for any damages caused during shipping, by incorrect use, voltage fluctuation or the modification or adjustment of any part of the appliance. To protect against a risk of fire or electric shock, basic precautions shall be GB taken while using electrical appliances, including the following:

1. Make sure that the voltage in your outlet matches the voltage indicated on

the device label and that the outlet is properly grounded. The outlet must be installed in accordance with applicable electrical codes according to EN.

2. Do not operate the oven if the door is damaged, it does not function

correctly or the power cord is damaged.

WARNING: It is dangerous for any person other than trained to

perform any repairs or maintenance to remove any cover that provides protection against microwave radiation. All repairs or adjustments including cord replacements shall be performed by a professional service centre! The cord must be unplugged from the outlet before repairing. By removing the covers with power turned on, you may risk exposing the microwave technician to microwave energy and electrical shock!

3. Protect the appliance from direct contact with water or other liquids to

prevent possible electric shock. Do not immerse cord or plug in water!

4. Do not operate the microwave oven outdoors or in a moist environment

and do not touch the cord or appliance with wet hands. Risk of electric shock.

5. Pay special attention when using the oven near children.

TROUBLESHOOTING Common The microwave oven interferes with the television reception. The microwave in operation may interfere with radio and television reception. It is similar to the interference of small electrical appliances like a mixer, a vacuum cleaner and an electric fan. Steam appears on the door, hot air comes out of the vents. Food can emit steam during cooking. Most of the steam is released through the exhaust vents, though some can accumulate in a cooler place, such as the door. This effect is normal. The oven was started empty by accident. The oven should not be operated empty. It is very dangerous. Problem Possible cause Correction The power cable is not firmly plugged in the outlet. Unplug the cord from the outlet. After about 10 seconds, plug the cable back into the outlet. The fuse burned out or the circuit breaker was tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker (repaired by a service technician from our company). Problem with the outlet. Try connecting another electrical appliance into the outlet. The oven does not heat. The door is not properly closed. Close the door properly. The turntable makes noises when the microwave oven is operating. The rotating glass tray or the bottom of the oven are dirty. Clean the oven according to the instructions stated in chapter “Cleaning.” The oven will not start.
