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 damage caused during transportation, improper use, voltage fluctuation or any change or modification 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. Make sure the voltage in your outlet corresponds to the voltage provided on the appliance label and that the socket 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. All repairs or adjustments including cord replacements should be performed by a professional service centre! Do not remove the protective cover from the appliance. Risk of electric shock or being exposed to microwave energy. Unplug the cord from outlet before repairing. Removing the cover with the cord plugged in can result in the service technician being exposed to microwave energy or electric shock!
3. Protect the appliance against direct contact with water and other liquids, to prevent potential electric shock. Do not immerse cord or plug in water!
