PRECAUTIONS GENERAL

- This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as :

- Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;

- Farm houses;

- By clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments;

- Bed and breakfast type environments.

No other use is permitted (e.g. heating rooms).

- The appliance should not be operated without food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance.

• The ventilation openings on the oven must not be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust vents may cause damage to the oven and poor cooking results.
• If you practice operating the oven, put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be damaged.
• Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not use this product near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar.
• Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.

DEEP-FRYING

• Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be controlled.
• Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking. Accessible parts may become hot during use, young children should be kept away.

LIQUIDS

• e.g. beverages or water. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.

• To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

• Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

• Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and let the teaspoon remain in the container.
• After heating, allow standing for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from the oven.

- After heating baby food or quids in a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.

- Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before heating!

ACCESSORIES GENERAL

There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use.

Ensure that the utensils you use are oven proof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking.

When you put food and accessories in the microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the oven.

This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.

If accessories containing metal comes in contact with the oven interior, while the oven is in operation, sparking can occur and the oven could be damaged.

Always ensure that the turntable is able to turn freely before starting the oven. If the turntable isn't able to turn freely you should use a smaller vessel.

TURNTABLE SUPPORT

Use the turntable support under the Glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turntable support.

- Fit the turntable support in the oven.

GLASS TURNTABLE

Use the Glass turntable with all cooking methods. It collects the dripping juices and food particles that otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven.

- Place the Glass turntable on the turntable support.

WIRE RACK

Use the Wire Rack when cooking with Grill or Combi grill.

CRISP PLATE

Place the food directly on the Crisp Plate. The Crisp Plate may be preheated before use (max. 3 min.). use the Glass Turntable as support

Always

when using the Crisp Plate.

Do not place any utensils on the Crisp Plate since it will quickly become very hot and is likely to cause damage to the utensil.

CRISP HANDLE

Use the Crisp Handle to remove the hot Crisp Plate from the oven.

PLATE COVER (accessory sold separately)

The Cover is used to cover food during cooking and reheating with microwaves only and helps to reduce spattering, retain food moisture as well as reducing the time needed. Use the cover for two level reheating.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required. It must be carried out with the microwave oven disconnected.

Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive cleansers, steel-woof pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.

Do not spray directly on the oven. At regular intervals, especially if spill overs have occurred, remove the turntable, the turntable support and wipe the base of the oven clean.

This oven is designed to operate with the turntable in place.

Do not operate the microwave oven when the turntable has been removed for cleaning.

Use a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the door and the door opening.

Do not allow grease or food particles to build up around the door.

DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

The European Directive 2012/19/UE on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted

municipal waste stream.

Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
