PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

  1. Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since this can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to break or tamper with the safety interlocks.
  2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow dirt or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
  3. WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.

If the apparatus is not maintained in a good state of cleanliness, its surface could be degraded and affect the lifespan of the apparatus and lead to a dangerous situation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

  • Read and follow the specific: "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY".
  • This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised. Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless continuously supervised.
  • Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years.
  • If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
  • WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is unplugged before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
  • WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of the cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
  • WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
  • When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
  • Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
  • If smoke is emitted, switch off the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

- The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

- The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.

- 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 a temperature probe with this oven.

- Metallic containers for food and beverages must not be used during microwave cooking.

- The appliance must not be cleaned with a steam cleaner.

- CAUTION: This appliance is designed only for cooking food and is intended for indoor use only and should not be used for any other purpose or in any other application, such as for heating a room.

- The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloths and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.

- The microwave is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

- If it is necessary to use an extension cord, its marked electrical rating must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and must be 3 core including the earth.

- Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried out and damaged power cables replaced by a suitably qualified and competent electrician.

- If the appliance is defective, unplug the unit and contact the retailer or manufacturer for support.

- The cable insulation on electrical appliances may melt when touching hot parts of the appliance. Never bring electrical appliance cables into contact with the microwave.

- During use the appliance will become hot

- Accessories and ovenware may become very hot. Always use oven gloves to remove accessories or ovenware from the cooking compartment.

- Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking compartment. Never prepare food containing large quantities of drinks with a high alcohol content. Only use small quantities of drinks with a high alcohol content. Open the appliance door with care.

- Foods with peel or skin may burst or explode during, or even after, heating. Never cook eggs in their shells or reheat hard-boiled eggs. Never cook shellfish or crustaceans. Always prick the yoke when baking or poaching eggs. The skin of foods that have a peel or skin, such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages, may burst. Before heating, prick the peel or skin.

Risk of scalding!

- When you open the appliance door, hot steam may escape. Open the appliance door with care. Keep children at a safe distance.

- Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container. This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the

surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter.

- When heating, always place a spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

Risk of injury!

  • Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a crack. Do not use a glass scraper, sharp or abrasive cleaning aids or detergents.
  • Unsuitable ovenware may crack. Porcelain or ceramic ovenware can have small perforations in the handles or lids. These perforations conceal a cavity below. Any moisture that penetrates this cavity could cause the ovenware to crack.
  • Only use microwave-safe ovenware

CAUSES OF DAMAGE

Caution!

  • Creation of sparks: Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
  • Water in the hot cooking compartment: Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause damage.
  • Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking compartment for long periods.
  • Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to corrosion.
  • Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. Always keep the seal clean.
  • Operating the microwave without food: Operating the appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading. Never switch on the appliance unless there is food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this rule is a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable crockery").
  • Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects on: Do not stand or place anything on the open appliance door. Do not place ovenware or accessories on the appliance door.
  • Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.
  • Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too high. Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The disc may jump if overloaded.
  • The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
  • 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain its looks and remain in good order. We will explain here how you should care for and clean your appliance correctly.

Risk of electric shock! Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

Risk of burns! Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let the appliance cool down.

Risk of serious damage to health! Microwave energy may escape if the cooking compartment door or the door seal is damaged. Never use the appliance if the cooking compartment door or the door seal is damaged. Contact the after-sales service.

Notes

Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.

Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the oven light. Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup of water. Place a spoon into the container as well, to prevent delayed boiling (ensure the spoon is kept at least a few centimetres from the edge of the oven to prevent arcing). Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at maximum microwave power.
