Warning: The safety measures and instructions, contained in this manual, do not include all conditions and situations possible. The user must understand that common sense, caution and care are factors that cannot be integrated into any product. 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 taken while using electrical appliances, including the following:

1. Ensure 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. Never use the oven if the door is damaged, the oven does not work properly, or the supply cord is damaged.

WARNING: It is dangerous for any person other than trained to perform any repairs or maintenance leading to removal any cover that provides protection from microwave radiation. All repairs or adjustments including cord replacements shall be performed by a professional service centre! The AV power supply must be unplugged prior to any repair. Removing the cover with the cord plugged in can result in the service technician being exposed to microwave energy or being shocked by electric current!

1. Protect the appliance against direct contact with water and other liquids, to prevent potential electric shock. Do not immerse cord or plug in water!
2. 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.
3. Close supervision is necessary for operating the oven near children!
4. Do not leave the microwave oven running unattended.

5. Leaving the oven cord connected to outlet unattended is not recommended. Disconnect the cord from the electrical outlet prior to any maintenance. Do not remove the power cord from the outlet by yanking the cord. Unplug the power cord from the outlet by grasping the plug.

6. Do not use the microwave oven near a source of heat, for example, stove hotplates. Protect the appliance against direct sunlight.

ELIMINATING PROBLEMS

Common
The microwave oven interferes with the television reception.	As is the case for other small appliances, microwave oven operation can interfere with television and radio broadcasting. This effect is normal.
The light in the oven dims.	The light in the oven cavity can dim when a lower cooking power is set. This effect is normal.
Steam condensation on the door, hot air from air vents.	Steam can be released from food while cooking. Most of the moisture is conducted via air vents, some can condensate in cooler areas such as the door. This effect is normal.
The oven was started empty by accident.	Operating the microwave oven without food is prohibited. It is very dangerous.

Problem	Possible cause	Correction
The oven will not start.	(1) The power cord is not properly plugged into the socket.	Unplug the power cord and plug in again after 10 seconds.
	(2) The fuse or circuit-breaker blew.	Replace the fuse or seek help from an authorized service center for resetting your circuit-breaker.
	(3) Defective socket.	Try connecting another electrical appliance into the outlet.
The oven does not heat.	(4) Door is not closed correctly.	Close the door properly.
